Views from the top (Volume II)

This publication contains a compilation of interviews that offers insights into the minds of the world's top CEOs.

Having first appeared in ISO's monthly magazine ISO Focus, Views from the Top goes beyond simple facts and figures and focuses instead on what motivates these high-fliers to take such an interest in international standardization, their standardization strategies and their views on current ISO standards and what is needed for the future.

Each interview can also be downloaded as a PDF from the list below.
