ICW Collaborative Working Awards 2016Thursday 8 December 2016 |  |
The Institute for Collaborative Working (ICW) Collaborative Working Awards event took place at the House of Lords on Thursday 8th December sponsored by BSI, hosted by the ICW Chairman Lord Evans of Watford, introduced by the ICW CEO Les Pyle. The awards process involved submissions for 6 categories, short listed by BSI to 3 for each. A team of judges comprising Frank Lee from BSI, Mehmet Chakkol from Warwick University Business School and Lord Evans the ICW Chairman met representatives for each of those short listed to dig into the details of their submission in order to decide on the winning entries. In all there were 9 awards presented by the judges. |   |
The 2016 ICW Awards reflects the growing focus on collaborative working with more than double the number of registrations for the inaugural celebration last year. Since its inception in 1990 the Institute has focused on the identification and dissemination of good practice in the field of Collaborative Working. This year's Awards certainly brought forward a wide spectrum of submissions providing a significant challenge to our judges. The publication of the world's first national standard for collaborative working, BS 11000, created a benchmark for both Government and Industry. Certification to the Standard is a notable accolade which many organisations have achieved and to which many more aspire. This year the Institute is proud to announce that the final draft of ISO 44001 has received its approval and will be published early in 2017. This development has been the result of a significant contribution from the ICW community alongside an international committee. So we will be looking forward to next year's awards embracing an even wider International community of practice. As part of the ongoing drive for Collaborative Working to be recognised as a professional business discipline the Institute has expanded the approach to Collaborative Working capability development through an individual membership scheme and a growing portfolio of training offerings including the launch of an MSc module in Collaborative Leadership and working is progressing towards an Post Graduate Diploma in 2017. As these initiatives move forward the Institute has been able to witness and evaluate many examples of collaborative excellence. These include individual organisations that have been pathfinders for industrial, collaborative relationships where partners have fully realised the benefits of working together and individuals who have been innovators / evangelists for Collaborative Working. The Institute believes that there should be further recognition for these outstanding performances through our Collaborative Working Awards Programme. The British Standards Institution (BSI) has been working alongside the Institute since 2005. We are delighted that once again BSI is jointly sponsoring the Awards with the Institute and providing professional support for the evaluation and recommendations. We congratulate all those who submitted and hope that whilst there can only be one winner for each category they will all take pride in their efforts and look towards next year's awards. |

ISO 44001The proceedings concluded with the formal announcement by David Hawkins of ICW and Frank Lee of BSI for the International Standard for Collaborative Working designated as ISO 44001 based on the principles embodied in BS 11000. Announcing the standard, ICW described the journey which started with the CRAFT methodology first launched in 2003 which established a systematic approach to collaboration, from strategic concept through to exiting from the business relationships. This led to discussion with the British Standards Institute (BSI) and publication of PAS 11000 in 2006 followed by the launch of the world's first national standard - BS 11000 in 2010. Over the past 10 years ICW continued to work with its membership community for independent validation. Since 2013 ICW has orchestrated discussions with the International Standards Organisation (ISO) and has achieved agreement between 12 countries within America, Europe and Asia for the final draft that has now been accepted with ISO 44001 to be officially published in by the International Standards Organisation, Geneva early in 2017. ISO 44001 covers a wide range of aspects and includes a number of processes designed to improve engagement and risk management, underpin effectiveness, raise rates of efficiency, enhance skills and build sustainable relationships. |   |
