Summary
• Successful business to business collaboration requires a disciplined approach, and embraces the alignment of people, process, infrastructure and systems to the joint business objectives
• The BS 11000 / ISO 44001 Standard provides a common Framework – but the discipline to deliver comes from integrating it and the joint working approach into the Quality Management System
• The biggest challenges to success are:– Leadership and commitment– Defining the business case, the risks and benefits, and aligning the underpinning procurement and
commercial approach– Getting the competency and skills, and the right behaviour in place– Developing jointly the methodology of working together – the joint relationship management plan– Doing it!
