Why is this shift in perspective important?

While preparing for an assessment the assessor's perspective is important because while businesses may be focused on ensuring that all the documentation is in place and the teams are aligned, assessors need to walk into the assessment (also referred to as regulatory audits[1]in the daily parlance) with a different mindset – objective, focussed and with a sense of calm. None of these would be possible if you do not have a perfectly defined scope, a well-articulated plan and an organised approach.
