Re: Action on clause no 4.1, 4.2 and 6.1
I love compound questions (not really).
One method to demonstrate 4.1 and 4.2 could be a business plan. It looks like TC 176 pulled an old dusty management 101 textbook off the shelf and turned to the chapter on writing a business plan. Actually the progression of 4.1 through 4.4 could have come from this.
So if your organization is into business plans that could be used to demonstrate 4.1 and 4.2.
Also on 4.1 and 4.2 evidence of paying attention to your strategic direction can be from how you respond to the management review about internal and external changes that could effect the quality management system (9.3.2b).
As for 6.1, there are many places in the standard where risk identification and mitigation can come into play. One of the more common ones would be at contract review where risk is identified and the resulting mitigation activities in traveler generation and purchasing.
