The ISO Consulting Forum brings management systems consultants, auditors and advisors together to share practice, support each other, and raise the standard of consulting worldwide.
Together, we raise the standard.
A profession with no shared home until now. The Forum exists to change that, on three fronts.
Monthly sessions where consultants share what works, debate hard client situations, and learn from each other openly.
Experienced consultants mentor those starting out. A path to grow, and a way to give back to the profession.
One profession, one voice. The Forum aims to give consultants a seat at the table with certification bodies and the wider industry.
Auditors have certification, peer review and professional bodies that hold them to a standard. ISO consultants, who often shape a business long before any auditor arrives, have none of that. Anyone can call themselves a consultant.
The result is uneven quality and no shared accountability. The ISO Consulting Forum is the first step toward changing that, by building a real professional community with standards of practice grounded in ISO 20700.
The Forum runs through country chapters, each led by a Chapter Chair. Founded in Australia and New Zealand, opening worldwide.
