Centauri Business Group (CBG) is a Washington-based company focused on making ISO management standards practical, understandable, and useful to organizations.
We believe ISO management standards represent decades of accumulated knowledge and best practices for managing organizations effectively. Process thinking, risk-based decisions, clear responsibilities, measurement, learning, continual improvement, environmental responsibility, and workplace safety are valuable principles — whether certification is the immediate goal or not.
ISO is practical wisdom for organizations. CBG bridges the standards and everyday organizational practice.
Organizations already know their business — their customers, products, people, technologies, and markets.
CBG helps them apply proven ISO management principles to that business.
Our goal is to make the standards easier to understand and translate their requirements into practical processes, systems, and tools that support the way organizations actually work.
CBG develops practical management-system resources including manuals, procedures, forms, implementation tools, guides, training materials, and expert support.
Our work covers ISO 9001 quality management, ISO 14001 environmental management, ISO 45001 occupational health and safety, integrated management systems, and related standards.
These resources are designed not simply to satisfy an auditor, but to help organizations build management systems that provide real operational value.
ISO should serve the organization — not the other way around.
Management systems should make work clearer, more consistent, measurable, and easier to improve.
Certification matters, but it should be the recognition of a useful management system rather than the sole reason for creating one.
And organizations should understand the principles behind their management system instead of simply inheriting a collection of documents.
CBG operates as a solopreneur business, led by Anna Banin, supported by decades of management-system experience and input from auditors, consultants, subject-matter experts, and active practitioners.
CBG has worked with management system standards since 2005. Our materials are continuously reviewed and updated as ISO standards and management practices evolve.
Make the practical wisdom contained in ISO management standards accessible and useful to organizations everywhere.
Understand the principles. Apply them thoughtfully. Build a better organization.
Since 2005, organizations in 62 countries have used CBG's ISO templates and guides — from long-standing markets in North America and Europe to a growing base across Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa.
