How to start the implementation

Answer:

The most important thing before starting the implementation is to obtain the management support for the implementation project. You will need to explain to the top management why the standard is important, what are the benefits and how important is their involvement in the project.

Once you have the top management support, you need to perform a GAP analysis to determine to what extent your company is already compliant with the standard and what needs to be done to bridge those gaps.

The last step before starting the implementation is to develop a Project Plan for the implementation where you will define activities, documents, responsibilities and deadlines according to the results of the gap analysis.
