How to achieve an ISO 44001 Certification?
ISO 44001 supports organizations that work in partnership with other organisations by allowing knowledge, skills and resources to be shared effectively. This can help your organisation to win bids and tenders. Companies that work together can often achieve much more in collaboration than they can alone.
Collaborative business relationships require management systems to be functional and effective. Often key aspects are ignored and can lead to business relationships and success being damaged, which can easily be prevented with ISO 44001 certification.
What is ISO 44001?
ISO 44001:2017 (previously BS 11000) is a British Standard that has been created to provide a framework for creating and managing collaborative business relationships. The standard promotes the best way for businesses to work together, thus effectively developing and managing their interactions with each other for maximum benefit to all.
Who is ISO 44001 relevant to?
ISO 44001 is especially relevant to organisations wanting to improve efficiency and partnership working; particularly those embarking on mutually beneficial commercial projects or those with the responsibility of managing supply chains associated with joint ventures and the delivery of projects.
What are the benefits?
ISO 44001 can help organisations to:
- Identify how relationship management can help achieve business objectives
- Evaluate the benefits of entering into single or multiple partnerships
- Select the right partner to complement the organisation’s strategic objectives
- Build better relationships that lead to quicker results
- Share cost, risks, resources and responsibilities
- Provide staff with wider training opportunities
- Define roles and responsibilities to improve decision-making processes
- Develop and execute an exit strategy satisfactory to both parties
- Gain access to more services, more opportunities to win work and the resources to compete for bigger contracts.
