ENCONA's Podcast

ENCONA ran a free webinar on 13 April 2021. 

THE TOPIC:
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO IMPLEMENT EFFECTIVE ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT?
We discussed risk assessment, mitigation, elimination and risk-based opportunities. This webinar refers to the ISO 9001 and IATF 16949:2016 regulations and whilst our examples may be based on the automotive industry, it is relevant to anyone, in any industry, involved in risk management. Attendees also had the opportunity to pose questions.

WHO HOSTED THE WEBINAR?
Dr Alecia M. Gabriel (ENCONA VP North America Operations) discussed the topic with our straight-talking subject matter expert, Hans Trunkenpolz (ENCONA Founder & Chairman of the Board), who is a certified IATF 16949 & VDA 6.3 auditor and has over 2,500 days of audit experience across the globe.

We hope you find this discussion as interesting and informative as we did, and we're looking forward to hosting the next one.

ENCONA ran a free #webinar on 2 March 2021 and the recording is available for you to watch & share.

Since the IATF 16949 regulation was revised in 2016, the establishment of process ownership as a top management responsibility became a requirement for certification. We discussed what it takes to implement this requirement and answer pertinent questions, including "does a manager or a department automatically qualify as the process owner?" Whilst this webinar referred to the IATF regulation in the automotive industry, it is relevant to anyone, in any industry, tasked with accountability and responsibility for creating, sustaining, improving, and delivering upon a particular process.

Dr Alecia M. Gabriel (ENCONA VP North America Operations) discussed the topic with our straight-talking subject matter expert, Hans Trunkenpolz (ENCONA Founder & Chairman of the Board), who is a certified IATF 16949 & VDA 6.3 auditor and has over 2,500 days audit experience across the globe.

We hope you find this discussion as interesting and informative as we did.

Management review is the routine evaluation of whether management systems are performing as intended and producing the desired results as efficiently as possible. It is the ongoing “due diligence” review by management that fills the gap between day-to-day work activities and periodic formal audits. This webinar refers to the ISO 9001 and IATF 16949:2016 regulations and whilst our examples may be based on the automotive industry, it is relevant to anyone, in any industry, involved in the management review process.

Creating actionable awareness and educating others regarding learning disabilities, such as dyslexia and ADHD, is a shared passion for the panelists and they enjoyed a free-flowing and candid reflection on their experience, as well as a message of hope that there is a fruitful future for youth that battle with these conditions. The core focus of the discussion assessed the importance of early appropriate education, encouragement, and the instillment of self-belief. In addition, the panel explored how companies can make a difference and provide support when these youths enter the workforce, such as through inclusion programs, thus enabling successful and fulfilling careers, by harnessing the beauty in the differences between all of us. 

ENJOY!
