There is another type of company that goes through the ISO process - the ones that don't want it, wouldn't want the badge but are forced to conform in order to undertake work in a particular industry (NHS, MOD for example). I would agree that using ISO non conformance is a very good way to get things noticed and fixed, but if your resorting to this approach it would suggest that you really don't fit into the organisation anyway. I do like your thought process though, keep writing it down :) Great article Paul.
