Collaborations Analysis Tool
This tool allows users to capture the comparative costs of operating independently versus operating through a collaboration for the same scope. It calculates a gross collaboration saving per year.
Users are reminded that this tool is not a prescription for their organisation—their objective should be to do the analysis that is fit for purpose for their organisation and that will give them comfort to make a high quality decision about which collaboration option is best for them.
The 'Assessment' worksheet consolidates the annual saving results of all the collaboration options. In this worksheet, the user can enter capital costs and other one-off costs of both entering and leaving each collaboration. The user also specifies the assessment period in years. The result is a ranked comparison of the total net savings that could be expected to emanate from the collaboration options considered, under both best case (remain in the collaboration) and worst case (exit the collaboration) scenarios.
