Take an open-minded, open-dialogue
approach to the commercial and funding models you consider. There
is no pre-existing blueprint that will fit your needs 100 per
cent.
However you approach the commercial and
funding structure of your PSN, the approach must be to start
definition as early as possible. Early engagement, a recurring
theme, is fundamental to a successful outcome.
Collaborative funding is a mechanism to allow
multiple organisations to join together available funding for their
own benefit and the greater good, ensuring that all enjoy the end
result in equal measures.
However, it needs to be understood that the
individual organisations will have varying timelines and
constraints in how quickly change can be made, and the requirement
to minimise the cost of change for all participants has to be
recognised from the outset.
One of the key challenges in rolling out a
successful PSN project is ensuring that the payback periods are
well understood, not only from the perspective of the PSN project
team who own the higher level objectives, but also from the
individual organisations’ perspectives, where justification on
funding within individual budgets will need to be catered for.
Through our PSN experience to date, we have
helped architect innovative funding mechanisms that provide a
framework for collaborative funding.
