ICW Scotland

Overview

Collaboration is high on the agenda of many companies and business sectors in Scotland. A key theme running throughout the recommendations contained in the Wood Review for the Oil & Gas industry is the need to ensure effective collaboration between parties to improve efficiency. The Scottish Government, following the recommendations of the Christie Commission, accepts "The public sector needs to continue to develop collaboration and joint-working to deliver more efficient and user-focused services. The key issue is that councils cannot on their own deliver the kind of radical change to service provision that is needed."

ICW Scotland has already been active in raising awareness of successful collaborations by hosting conferences and workshops at Aberdeen University and working alongside some of the largest organisations in Scotland. Its future plans include assisting and advising public and private sector organisations through seminars and workshops in a variety of locations, and working directly with individual companies to help them develop their own collaborative culture.
