Hi Stephen,
Many thanks for setting up this blog. Now 17024 accreditations may be up but the basic question I have is 'Are we any the better off for it?'
Is anyone aware of any evidence based studies or surveys etc that suggest that stakeholders (and let's include auditors) have superior outcomes?
I am especially interested in the use of 17024 to help implement government regulations or governance arrangements in general.
While there may be a lot of 17024 activity, do we get superior implementation eg of regulations, to previous arrangements where there was no formal personnel certification?
Regards
Ron
