<h4>What benefits does it bring?</h4>
Collaborative working is a different business model. <br /><br />Through collaboration we focus on achieving joint objectives and creating more value by working closer together. We develop a climate of trust so that knowledge and capabilities can be shared confidently for better outcomes.<br /><br />Collaboration targets competitiveness and performance improvements across areas such as cost-effectiveness and timescales. It increases engagement between organisations to develop long-term, sustainable relationships. Collaboration also drives higher levels of innovation, better risk management and more efficient use of resources.<br /><br />It enables Porterbrook to deliver a confident response to the increasing requirements of the rail industry, with better customer experience, innovation, maintenance and reliability – adopting a single team approach and a positive relationship with stakeholders.
