Podcasts about iso tc

In this episode of the ASIAL Security Insider Podcast, we speak with Matthew Curtis, one of the authors and a principal driver of the new ISO 22340 Security and Resilience — Protective Security — Guidelines for an Enterprise Protective Security Architecture and Framework, the first-ever standard providing guidance on protective security. This new standard has been developed and completed within the auspices of the International Organization for Standardization. The draft has now passed the final ballot – the process of resolving final editorial matters, conducting the final edit, and, ultimately, publication will then follow.In this podcast, we discuss how the standard is designed to meet a pressing need for organisations to adopt enterprise governance arrangements, enabling formulation implementation of all security controls coordinated within a single framework and strategically aligned with the business of the organisation.ISO 22340 is the first international standard on protective security and following its planned adoption as an Australian standard, the first of its kind here in Australia as well.Matthew went to great lengths to ensure that he explained the development and deployment of this standard was a team effort, stating, “I owe a great debt of gratitude to the team of professionals who have given so much of their time, knowledge and intellectual rigour to the project. These include Jason Brown, Head of Delegation for Australia to ISO/TC 292, Anna Harris, Chair of the Standards Australia committee MB-025 Security and Resilience, Alex Webling, Julian Talbot, Adam Incher, Matt Warmington, David Harding and Robert Gore, and more latterly, Vern Amey. Also of great value were the contributions and support of colleagues on the project team representing France, United States of America, Norway, Japan, Sweden, Republic of Korea and United Kingdom.”

Im Personalmanagement kann viel mit Normen und Standards gearbeitet werden. Das können Leitfäden für das Recruitment, die Personaleinsatzplanung und -steuerung sein, Hinweise zu Diversity und Inclusion oder auch Metrics zu Employee Engagement oder zu Learning und Development. Gearbeitet wird dazu beim Deutschen Institut für Normung (DIN e. V.) im Arbeitsausschuss NA 159-01-19 AA - dieser ist zuständig für die Normung auf dem Gebiet des Personalmanagements. Der Arbeitsausschuss spiegelt die Arbeiten des ISO/TC 260 "Human resource management" und der dazugehörigen Arbeitsgruppen und wird gefördert vom Bundesministerium für Arbeit und Soziales (BMAS). In dieser Folge sprechen Expertin Heike Andreschak (www.andreschak.biz) und Moderator Michael Braun (www.medienhaus-waltrop.de) mit dem Psychologen Harald Ackerschott - er ist Obmann des Arbeitsausschusses - und mit Sari Winasis Basuki, die auf Seiten von DIN e. V. die Ausschussarbeit koordiniert. Den Podcast Personalmanagement gibt es jeden Monat neu!

Les choix de standards et ses combinaisons au sein d’une solution technologique déployée par une plateforme NFT vont permettre de différencier et sélectionner les entreprises et projets de place de marché sur un secteur qui s’annonce très concurrentiel.Ressources de nos experts :Textes généraux de présentation de la normalisation, appliquée à la BlockchainUn article présentant l'intérêt des normes Blockchain sur le site de l'Afnor https://normalisation.afnor.org/actualites/blockchain-confiance-normes/La page du site de l'ISO sur les travaux du TC 307 https://www.iso.org/committee/6266604.htmlNorme technique ITU-T consacrée à la blockchain et aux technologies de registre distribué :- Termes et définitions : https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-T/focusgroups/dlt/Documents/d11.pdf (août 2019), qui inclue une première définition du NFT "6.36 nonfungible token (NFT): an entirely unique digital representation of asset."Normes techniques ISO consacrées à la blockchain et aux technologies de registre distribué :- Termes et définitions (vocabulary) : https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:std:iso:22739:ed-1:v1:en (juillet 2020)- Classification des termes et modèle de données (taxonomy and ontology) : https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:std:iso:ts:23258:ed-1:v1:en (novembre 2021) - Architecture, composants et interfaces (reference architecture) : https://www.iso.org/standard/75093.html (à paraître en février 2022) Standards techniques Bitcoin Foundation et Ethereum Foundation :- Bitcoin White Paper de Satoshi Nakamoto : https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf (août 2008)- Ethereum White Paper de Bitalik Buterin : https://ethereum.org/en/whitepaper/ (fin 2013)- Ethereum Yello Paper : https://ethereum.github.io/yellowpaper/paper.pdf (avril 2014)- Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIP) / Ethereum Request for Comments (ERC) : https://eips.ethereum.org/erc - EIP-20 / ERC-20 Token Standard : https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-20 (novembre 2015)- EIP-721 / ERC-721 Non-Fungible Token Standard : https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-721 (janvier 2018)- EIP-1155 / ERC-1155 Multi-Token Standard : https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-1155 (juin 2018)- EIP-2981 / ERC-2981 NFT Royalty Standard : https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-2981 (septembre 2020)Langage de script de haut-niveau Solidity pour écrire des smart contracts :- Solidity : https://docs.soliditylang.org/en/v0.8.11/- Editeur IDE Remix (qui prend quelques minutes à s'ouvrir) : https://remix.ethereum.org/Langage de programmation Python pour écrire (en quelques lignes) des programmes informatiques :- Python et PIP (pour télécharger des librairies et APIs) : https://www.python.org/downloads/ - Editeur Jupyter Notebook : https://jupyter.org/install- API Pyota pour enregistrer des transactions sur le registre IOTA : https://pyota.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html- Python Enhancement Proposals (PEP) : https://www.python.org/dev/peps/Exemples de smart contracts :- Imogen Heap "Tiny Human" (pour le split de royalties) : https://etherscan.io/address/0xc7696b27830dd8aa4823a1cba8440c27c36adec4 This is a public episode.

Las series de documentos ISO 10000, ISO 31000 y la ISO 9004 son normas que pueden poner esteroides en tu Sistema de Gestión ISO 9001. Petra Lopez ha contribuido por muchos años en los grupos de trabajo de ISO/TC 176 y como Gerente Planta en una empresa privada tiene una perspectiva muy particular de cómo usar estas normas de apoyo. Esa experiencia la puedes escuchar en este episodio. Amigos, los documentos de la Serie ISO 10000, 31000, tienen alcances específicos. Hay que tomarlos como documentos de apoyo. Es decir, toma aquel concepto que sientas que le puede hacer bien al negocio. Imagínate son documentos que te ayudan a construir tu perspectiva de análisis de riesgos, guías para monitoreo y medición de satisfacción del cliente, guías para planes de calidad, hasta perspectivas para determinar objetivos financieros en línea directa con tu sistema de gestión de calidad. Que mejor noticia le puedes dar a tu cliente amigo consultor o tu amiga responsable del sistema ISO 9001, que decirle a tu Director, que ese objetivo financiero que le interesa mucho, le podemos dar cause a través del sistema de gestión de calidad. Y hay más, como gestión de calidad de proyectos, gestión de la configuración entre otros. Si hay que tener cuidado de no crear algo burocrático porque no te va a servir a ti ni al negocio, por eso estudia la norma toma lo que te gusta y adáptalo. Estos documentos son realizados por expertos asignados por países y son personas de empresas privadas, publicas, funcionarios de gobiernos, académicos y recuerda lo que dijimos en el episodio anterior sobre “que es ISO”, ahí dijimos que las normas ISO publicadas son el resultado de un proceso de consenso entre expertos muy variados de mas de 140 países. Así que ni te rasgues las vestiduras porque no es perfecto, o algo puede estar mejor según tu perspectiva, pero tampoco veas el documento como la solución de todos tus problemas. Estos documentos guías son valiosos en el sentido que hay mucho trabajo y experiencias atrás de ellos, pero lo más importante amigos es que los tomes bajo la luz de tus propias circunstancias. El objetivo es tener un sistema de gestión ISO 9001 que apoye al negocio. NO buscamos burocracia y documentos bonitos sino objetivos que aporten al negocio.

La Organización Internacional para la Estandarización ISO (https://www.iso.org/home.html (https://www.iso.org/home.html)) ha generado 23,212 documentos que estandarizan desde productos de uso masivo, protocolos de comunicación, guías de sectores industriales específicos, documentos técnicos y de gestión y miles mas que ya son parte de nuestra vida diaria. Fuera de los especialistas en normatividades ISO, no es claro para la gran mayoría entender cómo se generan las normas y que tiene que ver tu empresa en ese proceso. EN el ámbito de calidad, ISO 9001 es la norma más utilizada y pedi Gustavo Pontoriero, Chairman del SC 3 de la ISO/TC 176 que nos hablara del futuro de ISO 9001. En el mundo de la estandarización escucharas como una norma es lo mejor que se pudo lograr con el consenso de todos los participantes. Por eso ves normas que según tú, requieren mejoras. No dudes que otros pensaron algo similar pero en el proceso de discusiones, y votaciones y ajustes que se hacen entre los comités nacionales del mundo y el comité multinacional de ISO, la version acordada es la version que conglomero la mayoría de las opiniones.

La innovacion puede ocurrir en muchas organizaciones pero puede perderse en la imposibilidad del individuo a expresarla y presentarla, podria perderse en un ambiente no apto para pensar diferente, o podria solamente ser malintepretada o desatendida. Los negocios son propuestas de valor. Es decir, si un negocio no esta satisfaciendo algo que el mercado esta dispuesto a pagar, pues no sera negocio. La innovacion tambien es un proceso que se percibe como creativo y yo mismo tengo mis dudas sobre una estructura que facilite las ideas innovadoras y su gestion. Por eso invite a un persona que ha trabajado directamente en la composicion de esta norma ISO 56002:2019 y que cuenta con experiencia practica en este tema. Un hecho es que ninguna empresa, Pais o individuo puede darse el lujo de no innovar. El Technical Committee : https://www.iso.org/committee/4587737.html (ISO/TC 279) Innovation management realizo un trabajo interesante y la directora ejecutiva de desarrollo de la Asociacion Portuguesa de Certificacion APCER Joana dos Guimarães Sá nos regala una conversacion Envianos tu opinion y preguntas a theisocoach@gmail.com Episode production: Photo: Kaboompics Audio Intro: Upbeat Party by Scott Holmes Copyright: Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Audio Outro: Inspirational outlook by Scott Holmes Copyright: Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/

Laverne Deckert works with clients to assess, analyze, and optimize process improvement opportunities in the Corporate Real Estate and Facility Management industries and Gordon Mitchell is CIO at Key Facilities Management where he is focused on blending technology and operations to optimize business processes. Mike Petrusky talks with Laverne and Gordon about their involvement with the ISO/TC 267 Roadmap Advisory Group that is focused on issues related to FM & technology. They discuss the need for building a standard around technology infusion in the built environment as it relates to smart buildings, data and modeling information to make the workplace more human-centric. Mike asks about the practical application of the TC 267 mission, so Laverne and Gordon share why they believe that the FM experience and data science can be integrated with best practices FM and accreditations from organizations like IFMA, IWFM, and ProFM. Facility management is a value center and we need to advance practices and standards in FM to allow FM leaders to digitally transform their careers and their organizations.

This episode is part of our in-depth coverage of the Healthcare Infection Transmission Systems Consortium (HITS) 2018 conference in Nashville, TN that took place September 18-20th. Check out all our HITS 2018 episodes here, and look for more throughout the month of October. The Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) measures a patient's satisfaction with the quality of their care during their stay at the hospital. It measures things like staff communication and attentiveness, discharge information, food service, and the hospital environment. These are important measures and every hospital should strive for excellence in each of them (we talked about this in our last episode). However, and as is often the case in healthcare, the HCAHPS survey can have unintended consequences. Typically, the Environmental Services Department (EVS) is given responsibility for the hospital environment portion of the score. And this too makes sense. They're the ones cleaning the rooms, emptying the trash, and ensuring that the patient has a comfortable environment to heal in. However, the most important responsibility for EVS is to ensure the environment is safe and HCAHPS does nothing to measure that. There is no measure that grades the EVS staff on how well they prevent the spread of pathogens through the hospital. This becomes a problem when pressures mount to improve HCAHPS scores. It creates an environment where EVS staff are forced to focus on the perception issues, and with shrinking staff sizes, it often comes at the expense of doing their most important work. On this episode, we talk with Christine Greene, MPH, Ph.D., Principal Research Investigator at NSF International and President of HITS and Maurits Hughes, Director of Logistics and Support Services at Michigan Medicine about how to deal with the patient satisfaction vs. patient safety conundrum. It's a challenge that requires proper education for staff and leadership about the importance of EVS' role in the hospital and the alignment of EVS and other critical teams like Infection Control. It also requires a new attitude towards EVS staff. They aren't just custodians or housekeepers... they are Infection Prevention Technicians. We can do a lot for patients by elevating the stature of and support for the EVS team. HCAHPS and the Patient Safety vs. Patient Satisfaction Conundrum:  1:46 Measuring Environmental Services (EVS) with HCAHPS: What sounds good on paper doesn't always work in practice. 2:40 The Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) measures a patient's satisfaction with the quality of their care during their stay at the hospital. The problem with tying patient perception of cleanliness to reimbursement is that it creates the conundrum of patient satisfaction vs patient safety. Contamination removal does not increase patient satisfaction. 4:55 Environmental Services (EVS) at Michigan Health are closely aligned with Infection Prevention (IP). In the 30 minutes a day EVS is in a patient room, staff must make the room look clean, remove the clutter of medical supplies, ensure trash doesn't get too full, all while trying to stay as quiet as possible to improve HCAHPS scores. 6:20 HCAHPS has nothing to do with patient safety. It sounds good on paper but doesn't really measure if the patient is actually safe. 7:30 EVS must partner with IP and use tools to help them measure if the staff is cleaning to necessary levels. Cut-backs on staff and resources mean each staff member is being expected to do more in a given day. The culture of cleaning excellence is compromised by not respecting the folks who do the cleaning. If these frontline employees are, "the tip of the spear against pathogens" how do we make sure they're treated, compensated, trained and supplied like it? 10:20 Remind employees that they are Infection Prevention Technicians (as opposed to custodians or housekeepers) and their role is to prevent the spread of infections and save lives. All services are hospital services. 12:22 The industry has not made investments in training for EVS. Getting the lab and IP staff to help educate the C-Suite would be huge. 13:20 How do you quantify the value that EVS brings to the organization? Michigan Health uses ATP testing, microbial swab testing, gel marking and special procedures in ED and other high priority areas to track EVS effectiveness. We share the results with leadership. 14:45 A "Bundled" approach to accountability. EVS, IP, and nursing staff are all responsible for taking action if a patient has an infection. Tests that determine if a surface has been wiped vs. decontaminated can help you better prioritize which processes need improvement. 17:30 A Quality Assurance program that uses the latest technology can help validate who infection control committees should focus on. 19:30 How do you get people to see EVS as a protector of ROI and prioritize cleaning at the level needed? 22:50 HCAHPS doesn't align with the goals of infection prevention and that's a huge disservice to patient safety. It leads to EVS focusing on the perception of cleanliness and quiet first, and safety second. The smell of the chemicals might be bad but we're not cleaning a fast-food restaurant, we're cleaning to save lives. To improve HCAHPS scores we need adequate levels of staff, training of staff, access to facilities and a team approach to preparing patients for a safe environment. 25:00 This issue won't manifest itself immediately and requires a long-term strategic prioritization or eventually it will prevent you from doing other things you're trying to accomplish. On the HITS Consortium and HITS Conference: “I think change will occur by getting more EVS and IP leaders involved in this sort of initiative but it is going to require us to change the paradigm and change the model of how EVS is perceived and managed throughout the healthcare facilities.” - Maurits Hughes ...

En este episodio, les hablo acerca de la familia de normas de calidad ISO 9000 y otras normas de calidad sectoriales. Cuando se está evaluando la implementación de una norma de gestión de calidad, es importante conocer cuales existen, y también es necesario saber si estamos obligados o nos conviene implementar alguna otra norma ISO relativa a la calidad en la organización, lo cual puede ser confuso al inicio. También hablo acerca de otros documentos que ha publicado ISO en apoyo a las organizaciones que están implementando la norma ISO 9001 o que ya la han implementado pero que la mantienen y mejoran. Saber que existen y usar toda esta amplia gama de documentos puede facilitar un mejor diseño y aprovechamiento del Sistema de Gestión de Calidad.

Last week I was honoured with the privilege of representing New Zealand at the inaugural ISO/TC-307 Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies standards committee meeting. The event was hosted by the secretariat, Standards Australia. 18 nations attended. While at the meeting, blockchain legend Nick Addison wrangled together a who’s who of blockchain entrepreneurs for a round table discussion. We convened in the media room at the international convention center. The group grew piecemeal over the course of three hours during which we discussed everyone’s projects and the state of blockchain in Australia.  The attendees were: Tim Bass of Block 8 Bok Khoo of the Internet, and Bok Consulting Sam Brooks CTO of Veredictum Russell Mclernon of Rexmls Luke Anderson of Sigma Prime Sergei Sergienko of Chronobank Matt Hale of Divvi I’ve split the conversation into two episodes so the next will be coming up soon. Before we get stuck in, I want to draw your attention to the Blockchain NZ conference and the Auckland and Wellington Blockchain Meetups. Things are gathering pace down here and with Vitalik soon to grace our shores with his presence, the whole country is abuzz. You can pick up conference tickets at a discount by following the link in this episode's notes at etherreview.info. I’ll be there and everyone will be invited to my place for a barbecue in the days following. So let’s hear from they guys in Sydney. First up we have Tim Bass, on joint real estate investing, then Bok Khoo on decentralized exchanges and derivatives markets. After some general chat Sergei discusses Chronobank and Russell explains Rex before we move into discussions about usability, insurance and end user friendly key management. Finally Sam outlines the processes behind the operation of Veredictum. etherreview.info
