Most Management Reviews waste time — and waste potential
If you prepare or lead the Management Review, you already know the frustrations: - Endless data collection with little strategic use - Low engagement from top management - Meetings that feel like compliance, not leadership - Actions that repeat every year - A sense that the review could be valuable… but rarely is
You can change this
The Management Review can become one of your strongest tools for alignment, decision-making, and improvement.
What changes when you have the right support
Before - The review feels like an ISO obligation - Preparation is heavy and exhausting - Leadership attention is limited - Information overload hides what truly matters - Improvement actions lack follow-through After - A strategic conversation leaders want to attend - Clear insights instead of endless slides - Focus on decisions, priorities, and outcomes - A repeatable method that saves time - A Management Review that influences the direction of the organization This coaching is not about “doing the clauses”. It is about turning clause 9.3 into a value-creation engine.

Let's all go to the balcony
A simple metaphor - going to the balcony - can transform ISO 9001 or ISO 14001 Management Reviews. Stepping back from the "stage" of reactive behaviour allows leaders to see the bigger picture, understand patterns, turn data into insight, move from positions to interests, and make futurefocused decisions. Without the balcony there is no vision; with it, the review becomes a strategic moment rather than a status report.
