Your Family is Your Business
Part of the tragedy of the Hurricane Katrina Aftermath is missing children. The flood waters destroyed pictures. Tearful, panicked mothers attempting to describe a precious little one. What would a parent do? No image for a missing-child posting.
Nothing for the milk cartons.
To find the little one fastest a picture is best.

Smart managers know that disaster can strike a business much as the breached levees destroyed New Orleans’ families. Many businesses, especially those with an international scope, use the ISO 9000 certification as a template for recovery.
ISO 9000 standards are used not only to produce a product or service of consistent quality — but also as a framework to replicate an enterprise.

The term “ISO” refers to the International Organization for Standardization. You may be curious about the difference between the names of the organization: International Organization for Standardization and the initials, ISO. If it were an acronym, you’d think it would be IOS. But the truth is, it’s not an acronym.
