Proposed initial programme of work (The proposed programme of work shall correspond toand clearly reflect the aims of the standardization activities and shall, therefore, show therelationship between the subject proposed. Each item on the programme of work shall bedefined by both the subject aspect(s) to be standardized (for products, for example, theitems would be the types of products, characteristics, other requirements, data to besupplied, test methods, etc.). Supplementary justification may be combined with particular
items in the programme of work. The proposed programme of work shall also suggest
priorities and target dates.

Indication(s) of the preferred type or types of deliverable(s) to be produced under theproposal (This may be combined with the "Proposed initial programme of work" if moreconvenient.)
See above.

A listing of relevant existing documents at the international, regional and national levels.
(Any known relevant document (such as standards and regulations) shall be listed,regardless of their source and should be accompanied by an indication of theirsignificance.)
BS 11000-2 Collaborative business relationships – Part 2: Guide to implementing BS-ISO
11000-1. [Since ISO 11000 was based on BS 11000-1, this can be used as a source documentfor Guidance on the application of ISO 11000]

A statement from the proposer as to how the proposed work may relate to or impact on
existing work, especially existing ISO and IEC deliverables. (The proposer should explain how
the work differs from apparently similar work, or explain how duplication and conflict will beminimized. If seemingly similar or related work is already in the scope of other committees ofthe organization or in other organizations, the proposed scope shall distinguish between theproposed work and the other work. The proposer shall indicate whether h is or her proposal
could be dealt with by widening the scope of an existing committee or by establishing a newcommittee.)ISO 11000 Collaborative business relationship management systems – Framework was developedby Project Committee ISO/PC 286. During the development of this standard the need for supporting
documents became apparent. PC 286 was set up because this work did not fall under the scope ofany existing committee and this is still the case with the new proposals..
There is some related and complementary but non-conflicting work within ISO. ISO TC 223 Societal
Security has developed ISO 22397 Societal security – Guidelines for establishing partneringarrangements. It does not deal with strategic approaches to collaborative working focussed oninternal resource configuration, ongoing relationship management and joint -working practices. The
proposed TC would cover the wider framework for collaborative working, not a specific sectoral,industry or business application.
The work of ISO TC/PC 259 Outsourcing is focused on outsourcing guidelines for business servic e
providers. The work is complementary as outsourcing is one kind of potential collaborative business
relationship but can be operated on a purely transactional basis. Again, a new ISO TC and field ofactivity around Collaborative Relationship Management would look more broadly at strategic
partnerships, joint-ventures and other collaborative arrangements of which outsourcing can be justone.
ISO/NP 50503 Innovation management - Tools and methods for collaborative innovation – Guidanceis under development by ISO/TC 279 Innovation management. TC 279 have been in contact with
PC 286 to avoid any conflict or crossover. The new TC would continue this relationship.

A listing of relevant countries where the subject of the proposal is important to theirnational commercial interests.
The following countries were actively involved in the development of ISO 11000 in ISO/PC 286:
Austria, China, Finland, France, Italy, Malaysia, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, UnitedStates.
It is hoped they will continue to be involved in the new Technical Committee.
In addition, the following countries were observer members:
Argentina, Canada, Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Japan, Republic of Korea,Lithuania, Mongolia, Netherlands, Norway, Serbia, Singapore, Thailand, United Arab Emirates.

A listing of relevant external international organizations or internal parties (other ISO and/orIEC committees) to be engaged as liaisons in the development of the deliverable(s). (Inorder to avoid conflict with, or duplication of efforts of, other bodies, it is important toindicate all points of possible conflict or overlap. The result of any communication withother interested bodies shall also be included.)

ISO/TC 176 Quality management and quality assurance
ISO/TC 204 Intelligent transport systems
ISO/TC 267 Facilities management
ISO/TC 279 Innovation management
ISO/PC 280 Management ConsultancyISO/PC 302 Guidelines for auditing management systems

A simple and concise statement identifying and describing relevant affected stakeholder
categories (including small and medium sized enterprises) and how they will each benefit
from or be impacted by the proposed deliverable(s).
Government or other large purchasers (including industry) are key stakeholders that may be impacted andachieve benefit from implementing the proposed deliverable. The UK government in particular has seen
benefits such as increased efficiencies and lower costs from adopting collaborative arrangements with their
supply chains. They have been using the existing BS 11000 standard (to be replaced by ISO 11000) tosupport collaborative working on long-term projects and this has extended from aerospace/defence toinfrastructure projects and delivery of industrial services. The rail sector has implemented the BS 11000
framework standard on major infrastructure projects to support its collaborative relationships and has seen
benefits from an increased structure and improved process for relationship management.
These new standards in support of ISO 11000 will help to support the effective identification, development
and management of collaborative business relationships for organizations of all sizes. SMEs can see
benefits from collaboration and partnerships as a source of innovation and competitive advantage.
Collaboration with supply chains can also help SMEs foster more sustainable and efficient relationships.
Large contractors working to collaborative approaches are more likely to support SMEs in their supplychain.

An expression of commitment from the proposer to provide the committee secretariat if theproposal succeeds.
BSI, holders of the secretariat of ISO/PC 286, is committed to provide the TC secretariat if it isapproved.

Purpose and justification for the proposal. (The purpose and justification for the creation ofa new technical committee shall be made clear and the need for standardization in thisfieldshall be justified. Clause C.4.13.3 of Annex C of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 contains amenu of suggestions or ideas for possible documentation to support and purpose andjustification of proposals. Proposers should consider these suggestions, but they are notlimited to them, nor are they required to comply strictly with them. What is most important isthat proposers develop and provide purpose and justification information that is mostrelevant to their proposals and that makes a substantial business case for the market
relevance and the need for their proposals. Thorough, well-developed and robust purpose andjustification documentation will lead to more informed consideration of proposals andultimately their possible success in the ISO IEC system.)Collaborative relationships can deliver a wide range of benefits which enhancecompetitiveness and performance such as better cost management, improved efficiency,
resource and risk management as well as delivering incremental business value andinnovation to customers. Effective collaboration can create an environment that promotes
trust between organizations based on a shared understanding and communication. This
may increase an organization’s ability to deliver joint efficiency improvements, challenge
traditional working practices, explore new ways of working, enhance transparency andopenness, strengthen their ability to challenge and innovate and to understand mutual
governance and assurance processes.
Although collaborative relationships and the benefits may be commonly associat ed withlarge public and private enterprises (e.g. public-private partnerships or supply chaincollaboration) they may extend to small and medium-sized organizations. SMEs canbenefit from collaboration by sharing resources and skills, and working together to enhancecompetitive advantage and respond to changes in the market.
Businesses and public bodies are entering into collaborative arrangements with theirextended supply chain, multi-national partners and overseas divisions to reach new
territories. As such collaboration is becoming truly international. There is however anabsence of a global common language or framework for collaboration to underpin andfacilitate national or cross-border partnerships in order to help organizations manage thepotential value and risks associated with collaboration. Equally on a national level there
appears to be limited guidance available.
Recent global research published in January 2013 strongly suggests that government andbusiness should better recognise the value of collaborative efforts. A study of over 2,000
decision makers from 12 countries across government, business and non-government alorganizations by research agency PSB and Bank of America found that nine out of 10
believe greater collaboration between business, government and other sectors is essential
for global economic recovery.
The publication of ISO 11000 Collaborative business relationship management systems —Framework should provide good practice for managing collaborative relationships and help
establish a common language and set of benchmarks for supporting effective collaboration.
This could facilitate benefits of joint-working on a global scale by supporting and fosteringcross-border partnerships and collaboration as an emerging practice. The intention of thisstandard is to establish a consistent but flexible framework that can be applied byorganizations of all sizes.
A series of international standards for collaborative relationship management should
stimulate a greater understanding of collaboration globally and facilitate improvements in
multi-national business relationships. This could be achieved by establishing a commonly
recognised approach, language and set of guiding principles to underpin business
relationships, improve trust and communication between partner organizations – ultimately
optimising the outcomes of collaboration. Subsequently, with good practices embedded,
the risks commonly associated with entering into (or from exiting) such relationships may
be reduced for individual firms and more sustainable business relationships and models
established.
