how does it work
About ISO 44001
ISO 44001 for collaborative business relationship management is an ISO standard which provides a tried and tested framework to apply to collaborative business relationships to ensure all parties achieve their goal, and for the shared goal to be achieved.
This standard (framework) can be applied internally by an organisation wishing to work better together in a more collaborative way to achieve its shared goal or vision. Examples of this would be an organisation with multiple national or international locations, or a large organisation with multiple internal silos.
ISO 44001 for collaborative business relationship management can also be applied to multiple organisations wishing to work together to achieve a shared objective – including Private, Public or Third Sector organisations.
