- Head Space
Investment in development of quality management systems in the food industry is often seen as necessary to achieve compliance and to keep the customer happy.
Benefits of improved cost -efficiency, value and true assurance are seldom achieved for a number of reasons, including lack of senior management commitment, available expertise, resources and systems that don't deliver when under pressure, to protect your business.
Head Space is a management performance assessment which is very distinct from a typical compliance audit and adopts the form of a risk identification process to:
1) Identify any risk gaps and vulnerabilities in key potential business weaknesses.
2)Recommendation and/or implementation of solutions;
3) Recommendations for more cost effective solutions

- Head Intelligence
The influences and pressures on change are ever increasing in breadth and complexity.
Maintaining the status quo can be difficult enough , particularly in the harsh reality of the current global financial climate.
How is your business proposing to provide evidence for what you do and meet new and diverse challenges and take best of the opportunities that they offer?
A number of electronic mindmaps are maintained routinely using MindGenius to capture the latest information by subject. Aren't you fed up with a stream of lists of information from different sources, saying the same thing, without a mechanism to retain and grow the information?
1) Evidence Base: A knowledge base of evidence has been developed and is maintained using an electronic mindmapping tool, to capture the latest developments from multiple sources across diverse disciplines. This provides total visibility of supporting evidence available at your fingertips.
2) Horizon Scanning: A knowledge base of international and national horizon scanning tools is available for customisation according to your product range and business development requiremements.
3) Bespoke technical reports can be generated from these and other mindmaps to keep you up to date and in front of the competition.
- Laboratory Selection:
Compliance to EN17025 is only a starting point. As with certified systems for manufacturing, certification may give you assurance, but not necessarily confidence. Business systems have historically failed over weaknesses in communication of laboratory results.
[Quote from Dr. Chris Bell:' Your contract laboratory is a crucial cog in your quality assurance machine. One day you may be relying on your choice to defend you in court!'
