Implementing and Managing Collaborative Relationships: A Practical Guide for Managers de Andrew Humphries

Implementing and Managing Collaborative Relationships: A Practical Guide for Managers

Autor Andrew Humphries, Linda McComie
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 iun 2022
In today’s competitive, globalized marketplace, the provision of services and products is a result of teamwork between several organizations. Relationships between organizations of any size are strategically important. If your supplier falls down at a crucial moment, it can have survival implications for your company or for other members of your supply chain. The management of these strategic assets cannot be left to chance and the same attention that you devote to finance, operations, HR, etc. must be applied to business relationships. Despite this, very few organizations focus on this or are even aware that they need to do it. Those that do are unsure how to do it. This is not helped by business schools that focus on either customer relationship management (CRM) or supplier relationship management (SRM) rather than collaboration between partners (Enterprise Relationship Management).
This book is a unique "go-to" guide for all managers who should be looking at collaboration with other organizations as a new way to attain outstanding results that would not be achieved on their own. Currently, there is nothing else of this nature on the market.
The book identifies relationship management as a pivotal management function. It presents a comprehensive, flexible, end-to-end management process that can be easily incorporated into the existing management structures. Further, they describe the crucial role of the relationship manager who is at the heart of the system and provides the drive to achieve high performance. Any company can tailor this discipline to the needs of its organization – whether an SME or a multi-national company selecting a new partner or managing existing relationships.
This book covers the decision of whether or not to partner and with whom, the creation of an appropriate system of governance, the transition to operations, managing performance for continuous improvement, and, finally, controlled wind-up of the partnership.
Throughout, diagrams to signpost the sequence of activities, checklists of important actions, and job-related worksheets are provided. In addition, there are numerous case studies in a variety of industries and public sectors that will be used as illustrations. Altogether these make this book ideally suitable for experienced managers as well as for training and induction purposes.
Essentially, Implementing and Managing Collaborative Relationships: A Practical Guide for Managers shows managers how they can create and operate a simple and effective system of Enterprise Relationship Management that will enable them to maximize efficiency, resilience, innovation, and profitability.

Recenzii

It is well recognised that a collaborative relationship will outperform an arm’s length adversarial one. Unfortunately, there are also many examples of failed collaborative relationships that failed to deliver on their promise. The authors of this book quite rightly identify that collaborating with organisational partners takes more than good intentions. It takes a well-planned and communicated approach that is ideally jointly developed between the parties. In this book, you will find a step-by-step guide with worksheets and tools that you and your intended partner can use to develop a joint plan, an execution strategy, and an ongoing relationship management process to keep you on track. It also recognises that the best time to work on your exit plan from the relationship is at its beginning when the relationship is at its strongest. I would recommend this book to anyone who is either engaged in developing or already involved in collaborative relationships as a tool to deliver on the promise that your relationship can deliver.
-- Andrew Downard, Ph.D., CEO, Ci-Advisory, Australia
 
Implementing & Managing Collaborative Relationships is an invaluable resource for anybody interested in managing business relationships. Humphries and McComie present an authoritative account of how collaborative relationships work and why they don’t work. The practical tools, such as worksheets and checklists, provide a hands-on structure to ensure successful relationship management.
-- Dr. Carlos Mena, Nike Professor of Supply Chain Management, Portland State University, USA
 
The concept that collaboration delivers better results is not new, but focus on short-term wins frequently stands in the way. The global pandemic has provided a wake-up call, an appreciation that ‘we are in this together’. With more than 60% of commercial executives now pushing for collaborative relationships, this practical ‘how-to’ guide could not be more timely.
-- Tim Cummins, President, World Commerce and Contracting; Professor, International Commercial and Contract Management, University of Leeds School of Law
 
The successive shocks of the pandemic, microchip supply and now emerging inflationary pressures have challenged supply chains more than at any time in the last 20 years. Resilience has now become a key distinguishing factor between organizations, and those that have built the strongest collaborative relationships and networks are best placed to maximize profitability in 2022 and beyond.
-- Mike Reilly MBE, CEO - ETher NDE Ltd., Baugh & Weedon Ltd., Alban NDE LLC
