The Glasgow office received ISO 44001 certification in 2015, based on our collaborative partnership with an NHS client in Scotland. Governance In each of our regions, the chief operating officer is the senior executive responsible for ensuring that the policies, processes, culture and behaviours required are established and maintained. Responsibility for developing this policy and associated group-level procedures, for reviewing the collaborative working performance of the operating business within the group, and for ensuring that we continually improve, sits with the collaborative working steering group, chaired by the group chief executive officer. At the outset of a project, the project board meets to decide whether a structured collaborative approach is to be taken and to agree the desired objectives. Activities and timeframes are then set. Relationship management plan It is recognised that every project is different, and the collaborative approach will need to be adjusted accordingly. For each designated collaborative project a specific joint relationship management plan will be developed and will evolve through the life of the project as it progresses. Currie & Brown’s employees seek to work in accordance with the group’s leadership framework and values, which are consistent with collaborative working.
