TIMS seminar series for companies

with Antje Linke
Senior Consultant - TÜV Rheinland Group

Quality management in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 is based on a process-oriented approach. It places requirements on processes, resources and responsibilities. Top management must ensure the effectiveness of the processes and the integrity of the system.
This seminar shows how processes are defined, results and inputs are determined, methods and responsibilities are defined and which key figures are appropriate. Individual interests of persons or departments are pushed into the background by the process orientation, while the overall result comes to the fore. This helps to identify how unnecessary or non-value-adding activities can be avoided.

Target groups:

Managing directors Management representatives Process owners / process owners People with an interest in process orientation

Training content

• Process-oriented approach, quality vs. process management What is a process and what distinguishes it? Process types 
  Levels, concept and process descriptions/displays
  What are key figures / performance indicators / KPIs and their benefits? Which key figure is the right one? Which ones are there?
  Examples and tools
  KPIs as a basis for process analysis
  Recognizing and optimizing value-adding and non-value-adding activities in processes

Our working environment is changing fundamentally: increasing workload meets digitalization. This means that change is constantly on the agenda and has a major impact on the way we work. This triggers resistance within us, because change shatters our basic needs. But how can we manage to positively counter resistance to change and transform it productively? Integrated management systems can provide a secure framework for this, mapping and tracking changes.
The aim of this TIMS seminar is to shed light on change in the context of integrated management systems from different perspectives, to get to know the change killers and to gather strategies to open up yourself and others to change.

Target groups:

• Managing directors
• executives
• Management representatives

Training content

Managing change is a skill for anyone who wants to lead the way in today's working world, make decisions and motivate their colleagues to get involved.

• Identify the solid foundation for change
• Proactively confronting the change killers
• Preparing the ground for change
• Motivating people to help shape change

Demands from politics and society for companies to assume ecological, social and ethical responsibility are growing louder. The EU Green Deal and the associated laws are obliging many companies to document and transform themselves, as customers and investors are also increasingly demanding transparency with regard to corporate climate management. 
The aim of the seminar is to establish a well-founded climate target as the basis for a comprehensive climate strategy. Participants will learn about different approaches to developing climate targets that meet both regulatory requirements and the SBTi guidelines and thus lay the foundation for an effective climate strategy.

Target groups:

• Managing directors
• Finance and compliance managers
• Energy and climate management officers Sustainability managers or sustainability officers

Training content:

• Scientific findings from the IPCC special report
• Basics of corporate climate management
• Overview of science-based resources, criteria and validation protocols of the SBTi for setting targets
• Presentation of different approaches to developing science-based climate strategies in line with regulatory requirements and SBTi (including a deep dive into SBTi's Net Zero standard)
• Outlook: Strategies for the implementation of science-based targets

A successful ecological and economic transformation of companies against the backdrop of constantly increasing regulatory and stakeholder-specific requirements calls for comprehensive, targeted reduction measures. These must extend beyond the company's own site and, in particular, also include cooperation with external partners.
Based on ambitious climate targets, this interactive seminar teaches the procedure for identifying and evaluating decarbonization measures, both at the company's own site and in the upstream and downstream value chain.

Target groups:

• Managing directors
• Finance and compliance managers
• Energy and climate management officers Sustainability managers or sustainability officers

Training content

• Introduction: ambitious climate protection targets
• Problems in implementing climate protection targets and solution options (e.g. responsibilities, roles)
• Presentation and collection of reduction measures along the entire value chain
• Procedure for carrying out a potential analysis to quantify decarbonization measures in terms of costs and savings potential
• Outline of an implementation plan for successful integration into existing business processes

with Prof. Dr. Jana Brauweiler

Our survey on the status of "Integrated Management Systems 2023" has shown that around 40% of the companies surveyed already carry out integrated internal and external audits. Within the framework of an integrated management system, integrated audits can not only leverage synergies, but also implement holistic perspectives and find approaches for the continuous improvement of the entire system.
The seminar will show which prerequisites must be met in an integrated management system so that integrated audits can be carried out at all and how integrated audits are planned, carried out and documented. In this context, the requirements for external auditors to carry out external integrated audits will also be discussed.

Target groups: 

• Managing directors
• Management representatives
• Internal auditors

Training content

• Nature of integrated internal and external audits as part of an integrated management system
  Requirements for conducting integrated audits in integrated management systems in relation to  Processes, responsibilities and documentation
  Effects and challenges of integrated audits
  Integrated audit planning (audit program)
  Integrated audit implementation 
  Integrated audit reporting (audit report)
  Requirements for the competence of auditors conducting integrated audits

Management representatives are always somewhere in between due to their staff function. They are supposed to advise the management and manage the system, but have no authority to issue instructions to their colleagues regarding implementation. If the colleagues don't want to do what the officer wants and there is no support from the management, then the officer often has no choice but to throw cotton balls or use the power of warm words. Sounds funny, but it is often a harsh and frustrating reality. A reality that I have experienced myself for years.
In this seminar, I would like to work out with you where difficult situations often occur and how we as management representatives can deal with them.  When and how is the work worthwhile and when is it hopeless? 

Target groups: 

• Managing directors
• Management representatives

Training content

• In which situations am I particularly dependent on the management as a representative?
• What options do I have if the others block me?
