What is BS 11000?
In business, as in other walks of life, teamwork can pay real dividends. Companies that work together can often achieve much more in collaboration than they can alone.

The question is:

• What's the best way for businesses to collaborate?
• How can they most effectively work together?

That's what BS 11000 is all about. As the successor to the PAS 11000 management system standard, BS 11000 provides a framework for collaborative business relationships, to help companies develop and manage their interactions with other organisations for maximum benefit to all. Using an eight stage approach, the framework is designed to enable organisations of any size and sector to apply best practice principles to their own ways of working, to get the very most out of business relationships.

Why implement BS 11000?
Every company wants to enhance its competitiveness and performance. At the same time an organisation will want to provide added value for its customers. BS 11000 will help organisations do just that, by sharing knowledge, skills and resources to meet mutually defined objectives and deliver new and higher levels of value.

BS 11000 will help an organisation:

• Identify how relationship management can help achieve its business objectives
• Evaluate the benefits of entering into a single or multiple partnerships
• Select the right partner to complement its objectives
• Build a joint approach based on mutual advantage
• Develop added value from the relationship
• Measure and maintain maximum benefit
• Develop and execute an exit strategy
