ISO 9001:2026 isn't your quality manager's problem. It's the CEO's.

The 2026 edition makes quality culture and ethical behaviour explicit (5.1.1), separates risks from opportunities (6.1.2 / 6.1.3), requires change to be evaluated for effectiveness (6.3) and builds climate change into your context (4.1 / 4.2).

In 60 minutes, Francois Labuschagne, CEO of DQS Africa, will show you:
✔ The 5 big shifts that matter for certified organisations
✔ The leadership duties auditors will now test
✔ What changes in your management review and internal audits
✔ DQS's 14-step transition plan, with who owns each step
✔ Your transition timeline

Stay for live Q&A and bring your hardest questions.

For: CEOs, MDs, quality managers, SHEQ leads, internal auditors and ISO 9001 consultants.

Hi [First Name],

ISO 9001:2026 asks more of leadership than any edition before it.

Quality culture and ethical behaviour are now explicit. Risks and opportunities are handled separately. Changes must be shown to work. Your management review has new inputs.

And most of that lands on top management, not just the quality manager.

If you're wondering "What does this mean for us, and where do we start?", join Francois Labuschagne, CEO of DQS Africa, for a 60-minute briefing:

Hi [First Name],

[Save my seat →] [REGISTRATION LINK]

On 30 September we ran our first ISO 9001:2026 briefing, and the questions didn't stop.

How do you audit ethical behaviour? Do internal audit objectives change? What happens to knowledge when a key person resigns?

Those questions told us something: people don't need the standard read to them. They need to know what to do next.

So on Wednesday 28 October we're running a new, 60-minute version built around exactly that. Francois Labuschagne, CEO of DQS Africa, will cover the 5 shifts that matter, the leadership duties auditors will test, and DQS's 14-step transition plan.

Hi [First Name],

Problem: Most management reviews report outputs: audits done, actions closed, meetings held.

Agitate: Under ISO 9001:2026, that's not enough. The review needs results, and it needs new inputs: interested parties, changes, and risks and opportunities as separate items. If your last review didn't cover those, it's a gap your auditor can find.

Solve: Here's your 2-minute check. Open your last management review pack and ask:
1. Does it show results, or just activity?
2. Are interested parties and changes covered?
3. Are risks and opportunities handled separately?

Every "no" is a transition task. On Wednesday 28 October, Francois will walk you through the rest, including the 14 steps to close those gaps.
