Efficient, compliant management systems pave the road to
sustainability through integration and automation

The book addresses the many definitions of sustainability and
why CEOs need the links between sustainability, business value, and
performance. Business leaders are committed to leading the way, and
the book outlines the support of a management system structure and
business principles that will drive the accomplishment of their
mission. Stakeholder demands on CEOs include many challenges.
Investors are assessing companies for financial performance. The
shrinking talent pool of employees is looking to work with
organizations that support social, environment, and economic
operating practices and principles.

Great leaders are those that ask questions, who are creative to
drive innovation for growth of their company. The
Assess-Reflect-Act section on international business principles
defined in the book will ask you as the leader thought provoking
questions to stimulate action within your organization to bring
people, processes, and technology together for business
success.

Leaders need to transition to smart decisions that are data
driven. The company's management system structure is important to
build a strong framework for business process operations and
automation for global competitiveness. Topics include:

* Business plans vs management systems

* Management system frameworks: standardization, ISO standards:
Quality -- ISO 9001, Environment -- ISO 14001, OHSAS
18001, Integrated Management Systems

* Three Steps for Process Development: Identify, Insure,
Improve

* Focus for the Organization: Compliance Costs, Best Practices,
Strategic Planning

* Support -- Resources: Innovation, Engagement, Succession
Planning

* Data as a Valuable Resource

* Operation: Process Risks, Management System Control Plan,

Design, Automated Controls, Cloud Computing

* Performance Evaluation -- Monitor, Measure, Analyze,
Audit, Management Review

* Competitive Landscape

The constant need to improve internal processes and move toward
business sustainability and quality standards is a major stressor
for governments and businesses. With one-third of the workforce
retiring in the next five to ten years, the need has become more
immediate, and the focus has shifted to building a strong framework
for business process operations and automation for global
competitiveness. This book provides a roadmap to efficient,
compliant systems, showing businesses how to build toward
sustainability goals and capture key knowledge of the employees
involved in the process.
