Collaboration
• General: Cooperative arrangement in which two or more
parties (which may or may not have any previous
relationship) work jointly towards a common goal.
• Knowledge management : Effective method of
transferring 'know how' among individuals, therefore
critical to creating and sustaining a competitive
advantage. Collaboration is a key tenet of KM.
• Negotiations: Conflict resolution strategy that uses both
assertiveness and cooperation to seek solutions
advantageous to all parties. It succeeds usually where
the participants' goals are compatible, and the
interaction among them is important in attaining those
goals.

Collaboration Questions
• Is it a set of woolly words ?
• Will it save us money ?
• Will it help our business ?
• What is the real value ?
• How will it effect our culture ?
• Who do we collaborate with ?
• What happens when we want to stop?

Questions – part II
Why does it work here, ………. but not over here ………
What’s in it for me?
Client – “They just don’t get it”
Supplier – “He can’t tell me what it is”
What does it really mean? (££££………….)
“But I’ve been doing this for years!”
Does ‘FM’ need an inflexible framework?

So how has EMCOR responded?
• Key Account Management - a clear process to know
your customer
• Understanding customers’ business drivers, operational
requirements and cost pressures.
• Encouraging a constant focus on “value”, not just “task”
Knowing:

– What they can afford
– What they can’t afford
• Adopting BS11000
