The Value Toolkit

14th December 2020

We are delighted to have been able to contribute to the Market Enablers workshops - that are being run by CE, as part of the development of the new CIHub Value Toolkit.

Much down-to-earth discussion that will, hopefully, help shape the tool, and improve its operation and acceptance by both mega + micro businesses.

An Interim Report has been published by the CIHub.

ISO TC286 Collaborative Business Relationships

Review of ISO 44004 '... Guidelines for large organisations engaging with MSMEs ...'

28th May 2020

A productive meeting of #TC286 this morning, focussed on the Working Draft (WD) of ISO44004, ‘Guidance for large organisations seeking to engage MSME within their Collaborative relationship programmes’.

The prior work, by an ad-hoc group led by Swedish and UK representatives, allowed the prospective Committee Draft (CD) to be reviewed and put out for international ballot on the day.

Review of ISO 44004 '... Guidelines for large organisations engaging with MSMEs ...'

28th April 2020

Another productive meeting of #TC286 this morning, with participants from China across to the US, reviewing the international comments received on the second Working Draft (WD) of ISO44004, ‘Guidance for large organisations seeking to engage MSME within their Collaborative relationship programmes’.

There is still much to do so an ad-hoc group, led by Swedish and UK representatives, was set up to swiftly rework the document.  We are hoping that we can change the title to something succinct too!

ISO TC286 Collaborative Business Relationships

Review of ISO 44003 '... Guidelines for MSMEs ...'

21st April 2020

A productive meeting of ISO TC 286 this morning, with participants from Canada to China, meeting on the Zoom platform, to review international comments received on the Committee Draft (CD) of #ISO44003, 'Guidelines for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises on the implementation of the principles of collaborative business relationship management'.

We are hoping that the new standard will go straight out for comments, internationally, as Final Draft International Standard (FDIS).
