CGI has partnered with NATS, the UK’s leading air traffic control services provider, to drive innovation and improve operational efficiency. CGI supports the NATS Data Analytics function, providing expertise as well as helping to deliver the next generation of infrastructure to support future Air Traffic Control activities. Central to our collaboration is ISO44001, a globally recognised standard for Collaborative Business Relationship Management.

ISO44001 plays a vital role in enhancing partnerships, promoting shared objectives, advancing collaborative skills and ways of working, and improving communication. For CGI and NATS, this approach has strengthened our relationship by aligning goals and increasing the effectiveness of our joint activities.

With ISO44001, both organisations benefit from clear objectives set through a Joint Relationship Management Plan (JRMP). This plan identifies the shared values and collaborative behaviours the partnership is based upon, provides measurable goals, ensures open communication, and helps manage risks effectively. The result is an enhanced, trust-based partnership that allows CGI and NATS to work towards joint strategic goals more efficiently.

By embracing ISO44001, CGI has reinforced our position as a trusted partner. The framework is not only improving service delivery, it is also opening up new avenues for growth and innovation. Additionally, it is creating opportunities for NATS and CGI to engage more deeply with local communities, contributing to environmental and social causes.

As CGI and NATS continue to leverage the ISO44001 framework, our partnership will evolve, delivering greater value to each organisation, CGI partners and stakeholders. The success of this collaborative approach highlights the importance of trust and transparency in building long-term, sustainable business relationships.

Tim Bullock at NATS said; “Collaborating with CGI under ISO44001 strengthens our focus on strategic outcomes, builds trust and drives continuous improvement, allowing us to innovate and deliver more effectively. Our partnership with CGI also drives opportunities for business growth through innovation while creating lasting value from a trusted relationship.”
