Drafted in the Lodmoor Motel, Weymouth, Christmas Eve, relatively sober.
Application of BS8555 to aid decision making, using FE College as example (this may develop into a pure focus on FE College), examining the ways in which the standard both removes some decisions from the organisation, and requires other decisions.
BS 8555 requires decisions as to whether to adopt it -
- is a formal EMS advantageous to the organisation?
- would a phased approach be suitable
- would accreditation add value?
- etc
BS8555 removes decisions by stipulating stages that must be achieved, particularly if decision to use the model is not based on a full analysis of the stages, or of the alternatives.
BS8555 requires decisions on how to achieve each element
BS8555 strongly steers towards systematic application.
I wish to explore the application of BS8555 to FE Colleges including:
- decision to accredit;
- costs & beenfits;
- pressures (stakeholders)
- whether stipulated stages are the most appropriate model for FE College
- Systematic vs iterative application
- proposing modifications to the Acorn model, or possibly of the standard itself.
OPTIONS - Base on BS 8555 or Acorn implementation model, or both? - Extent to which draw on ISO 14001.
