Implementing ISO 9001 (the big picture)

Answer:

When I start implementing an ISO 9001 project I start with the team: Who is the Project Sponsor, someone that can influence top management, who is the Project Manager, who is included in the Project Team.

Then, training about ISO 9001 and what is a management system.

After that we can design a Project Plan (what will be done, by whom, until when with what resources). Normally, I divide the Project in two parallel work fronts: one strategic (about strategic orientation, policy, context, interested parties, strategic risks and and oppotunities, objectives with action plans) and another much operational (mapping processes and designing its risk management with procedures, instructions, control plans). My book, linked bellow, descrives this approach.

Then, implementing is following the Project Plan and making verifications, performing audits and having management meeting to make decisions and improving.
