This study proposes an alternative implementation method for ISO 9001:2015 by using knowledge transfer best practice as basis for the development of an implementation framework.  ISO 9001 is by far the most widely implemented ISO management system with an implementation base of 1.1 million accreditations worldwide, and benefits of ISO 9001 accreditation are well researched.  Despite this, implementation of the standard is at times superficial.  It has been shown that diagrams assist with learning in preparation for a biology test.  Though the environments are very different, organizational learning and therefore the ability to implement ISO 9001 requirements might also be more effective if information is presented in a diagram or flowchart form.  This principle was applied in the development of an alternative implementation framework in the form of an interactive and editable flowchart.  This approach promotes the sustainable integration of requirements into existing operations.  The benefits of certification and barriers to implementation of ISO 9001 are well established.  However, there is a gap in literature on implementation methods for ISO 9001.  This study will be a valuable contribution to the ISO 9001 body of knowledge.  Companies seeking or maintaining ISO 9001:2015 accreditations would find this framework useful.
