Reflecting on recent ISO 9001 Quality Management System (QMS) Management Reviews, here are some practical tips to effectively chair the meeting. Actions to ensure the meeting achieves its objectives, stays on track and respects the time of all participants:

Plan Ahead
Ensure the latest versions of the QMS documents can be easily accessed throughout the review, aiming to streamline the meeting experience and save time.

Prepare An Agenda
Develop a clear agenda to make sure the ISO 9001 Management Review requirements will be achieved.

Manage The Time 
Be realistic with the allotted time. Establish a start and end time and manage the time effectively.

Maintain Focus
Guide the discussion to align with the agenda items and steer it back on track if it veers off-topic.

Assign Actions & Agree Due Dates 
Agree on key tasks, owners and due dates for any follow-up actions. 

Follow these tips to ensure a productive meeting that meets the Management Review objectives. Note: Be prepared for the possibility that there may be distractions or interruptions in the meeting, as the business is most likely still operating whilst the leadership team are involved.
