5 Ms of Horizontal Collaboration
Mindset:
- new age of collaborative enlightenment
- acceptance of the ‘sharing economy ‘
Motives: - internal, company-level efficiency gains exhausted
- external commercial and environmental pressures mounting
Models: - evolution and refinement of collaborative business models
- mathematical models and software tools to optimise gain-sharing
Market: - establishing mutually-supportive roles for logistics providers
- aligning HC with other market trends to maximise synergies
Ministries - legal acceptance of HC as yielding wider societal benefit
- promotion of HC through logistics best practice schemes

Impending Paradigm Shift
‘Rise of a Collaborative Commons as the dominant model for organising
economic life’
‘The Internet of Things (IoT) is the technological ‘soul mate’ of the
emerging Collaborative Commons’
‘ The IoT is made of a Communications Internet, an Energy Internet and
a Logistics Internet that work together in a single operating system,
continuously finding ways to increase thermodynamic efficiencies and
productivity in the marshalling of resources, the production and
distribution of goods and services and the recycling of waste.’
Physical Internet
applying the networking of principles of the
internet to the physical movement of freight

generation of modularised containers’

longer term vision of ‘network-based’
horizontal collaboration ?
Collaborative bundling of freight to meet modal shift targets
Target: EC White Paper target for 30% of freight tonnes moving over
300km to move by rail or inland waterway

Need to integrate logistics service providers more effectively into HC schemes
Extending the Scope and Objectives of Horizontal Collaboration
improving the utilisation of existing assets and services
joint planning of new facilities, systems and services
catalysing and leveraging future logistics innovations
Joint programmes for adaptation to regulations,
climate change etc.
Challenges
Complying with evolving competition law
Orchestrating more complex, broadly-based collaborative networks
