This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Wintersmith Advisory helps Utah businesses build the systems they need to meet industry standards, earn important certifications and open the door to new opportunities and customers. Principal Consultant, Alex Lackey, joins us with more.
Alex Lackey:
Two of Utah’s biggest sectors, aerospace and software, run on certification: AS9100 for aerospace suppliers, ISO 27001 or SOC2 for software. Too many companies treat certification as paperwork: write the procedures, pass the audit, and move on. The certificate opens doors, but that’s only the start.
Ask your managers two questions about any key process: who owns it, and how do you know it’s working? If the answers are clear and consistent, you have a system. If not, the certificate is doing less than it could. Built well, the system lets managers define, manage, and improve on the work they own, and they feel supported when they push to fix systemic problems.
At Wintersmith Advisory, we build these systems for aerospace suppliers, software companies, and manufacturers across Utah. If a certification stands between you and your next customer, build it to enable the business, not just pass the audit. Learn more at wintersmithadvisory.com.
