Scope of the proposed deliverable.
Organizations implementing single or multiple management systems and simultaneously theBusiness Excellence framework are faced with the major challenge of lack of alignment. Thiscan be attributed to multiple factors, including but not limited to, organizational
design/structure, responsibilities matrix, contextual understanding of the linkages/inter dependencies, silo mentality and turf protection.
“Guidelines on Integrating a Business Excellence Framework wit h ISO management systemstandards” will provide the roadmap on integrating the national/international businessexcellence frameworks with management system standards, for enhancing organizational
efficiency, facilitating effective decision-making, and promoting transparency, innovation andcontinuous improvement.
Scope will exclude the development of an ISO Business Excellence standard and/or
development of ISO Management System standard/s. Instead it will focus on the integration
aspects, available best practices, and provision of useful practical tips for betterorganizational management.
Keywords: ISO Management Systems, Business Excellence frameworks, Organizational
Design/Structure, Organizational Responsibilities Matrix, Organizational Alignment,

A statement from the proposer as to how the proposed work may relate to or impact on
existing work, especially existing ISO and IEC deliverables. The proposer should
explain how the work differs from apparently similar work, or explain how duplicationand conflict will be minimized.
In 2004 British Standards Institute (BSI) published the “BIP 2010:2004 IMS: The excellencemodel. Integrated management systems series” by John M. Kelly. This book explains how arange of ISO standards, such as those on quality, environment and health safety can b e
integrated and enhanced by using the excellence model, in addition to addressing otherissues.
“Guidelines on Integrating a Business Excellence Framework with ISO management systemstandards” will be the first ISO standard since the BSI publication 12 ye ars ago.
Additionally, the development of the “Guidelines on Integrating a Business Excellence
Framework with ISO management system standards” will complement and reinforce theongoing ISO work related to the “The Integrated Use of Management Systems Stand ards”
handbook and Annex SL.
ISO management system standards typically applied by organizations address quality,
environment, risk, safety, asset management etc, whereas the Business Excellence
Framework deploys a holistic approach, wherein, elements from multiple ISO systems are
addressed by respective criterion.
The “Guidelines on Integrating a Business Excellence Framework with ISO management
system standards” will help organizations deploy an integrated approach and would thus
improve organizational effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability and continuous improvement.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Note from the ISO/TMB secretariat:
It should be noted that the proposer of the NWIP considered the scope and work programmeof ISO/TC 176 “Quality management and quality assurance” in order to assess whether the
proposed deliverable should be developed by ISO/TC 176 or by a new project committee.
After careful consideration, SCC, along with the proposer, agreed that this deliverable needs
to be prepared by a new project committee.

business excellence model, which was introduced in 1987 in USA and comprises of 7-criterion.

Review of available ISO management system standards; Management system standards are
currently being implemented by over a million organizations. ISO 9001 published in 1987 tops the
popularity list of these management system standards. In 2004, the British Standards Institute (BSI)
published “BIP 2010:2004 IMS: The excellence model, integrated management systems series.” In2015, ISO identified the need to develop a unified format to develop management system standards
to integrate and facilitate simultaneous implementation and published Annex SL.

As of June 2016, ISO had published 32 management system standards addressing the topics identified in
the illustration above. However, till-date there is no ISO standard or guideline available to assist
organizations implementing a business excellence framework and management system standards,
simultaneously. “Guidelines on Integrating a Business Excellence Framework with ISO management systemstandards” will effectively address this need and close the gap.

Guidelines on Integrating Business
Excellence Frameworks andManagement System Standards
New ISO Standard Proposal Introduction by
Zillay A. Nawab, Canada

The Need:
There is no ISO standard or guideline
available
toassistorganizations
implementing the business excellenceframeworks and management systems
standards, simultaneously.
Business excellence frameworks are
implemented in 95 countries world-wide
and are identical to or are variations of
the Malcolm Baldrige business excellencemodel, which was introduced in 1987 in
USA and comprises of 7-criterion shown
below:

Management system standards are
currently being implemented by over a
million organizations. ISO 9001 publishedin 1987 tops the popularity list of thesemanagement system standards.
In 2004, the British Standards Institute(BSI) published “BIP 2010:2004 IMS: The
excellence model, integrated management
systems series.”

In 2015, International Organizational forStandardization identified the need todevelop a unified format to develop
management
systemstandards
tointegrate and facilitate simultaneous
implementation and published Annex SL,
comprising of 10 sections, shown below:

As of June 2016, ISO has published 32
management system standards addressing
the topics identified in the illustration on
the following page.
However, till-date there is no ISO
standard or guideline available to assist
organizations implementing the businessexcellence frameworks and management
system standards, simultaneously.

The Benefits“Guidelines on Integrating Business
Excellence Frameworks and management
system standards” will effectively address
this need and close the gap.
The proposed standard will align the ISO
management system with businessexcellence frameworks, as illustrated
below, and facilitate in effective
integration and implementation.

 Increased trade, resulting fromoperational expense optimization andenhanced competitiveness attributed
to lower costs
 Greater customer satisfaction, as an
outcome of reduced internal efforts
and more time for focusing on
internal & external customer needs
 Increased employee satisfaction, due
to clearer responsibilities, minimal
duplication of effort, focused line ofsight and better alignment
 Enhanced organizational reputationand image. With improved customer
and employee satisfaction levels, thequality of product and/or services,
organizational image, brand andreputation will improve
The Way Forward

Standards Council of Canada (SCC)
proposes that ISO Assembly consider
approval of the development of“Guidelines on Integrating Business
Excellence Frameworks and management
system standards” as a new work item.

 Excellence Canada, the National
Canadian Excellence body has
endorsed the development of the“Guidelines on Integrating Business
Excellence
Frameworks
andmanagement system standards” andnotified Standards Council of Canada Cole Engineering Group has offered
to host the international secretariat
in Toronto and co-chair the ISO
committee along with the proposer.
This has been communicated to theStandards Council of Canada
Standards Council of Canada will be thesole authority responsible to initiate
and manage formal communication
with ISO and its member countries in
the context of this proposal.
