What you'll learn

01 · The big picture

What ISO 9001:2026 is, why the revision matters, and what is NOT changing (most of the standard).

02 · Change 1 — Climate in context (4.1 / 4.2)

Already mandatory via the 2024 amendment — what the auditor actually wants to see.

03 · Change 2 — Quality culture (5.1.1)

The hardest new expectation: what culture evidence looks like in practice.

04 · Change 3 — Ethics (5.1.1 / 7.3)

The one sentence that keeps this simple, and how it reaches induction and awareness training.

05 · Change 4 — Risk vs opportunity (6.1)

The split explained: what to separate, what to keep, strategy & management review knock-ons.

06 · Change 5 — Awareness (7.3) + the new Annex A

Who needs to know what, and how ISO 9001's first guidance annex will shape audits.

07 · The 3-year clock

When your audit switches, what happens if you miss the deadline, and how to time your transition.

08 · Your readiness plan

A 6-step gap assessment and action plan, plus the common pitfalls to avoid.

Interpretive guidance based on the approved final draft of ISO 9001:2026 (approved 7 August 2026); the FDIS text and clause numbering are frozen, and the masterclass is re-verified against the licensed text on publication. Not a substitute for the published standard.
