What we do:
As independent partnering specialists, we help partners build strong relationships with high levels of trust, gain clarity of purpose and develop an agreed process to work together.
We broker solutions by chairing and facilitating partnering discussions, coaching and mentoring, and undertaking regular reviews and ‘partnering health checks’.
We take the uncertainty out of partnering and give partners the confidence they need to build high performing partnerships.
We help partners to:
Design their partnering process
Maintain the power balance in their relationships
Develop their partnering agreement
Resolve conflicts when they arise
Decide when it is time to move on
How We Work
By working ‘in the middle’ between partners we are independent and work equally for all partners, irrespective of who funds us. In this way we can ask the hard questions and get below the surface, enabling tough issues to be resolved and high-performance outcomes achieved.
As we work with partnering consortia, we take every opportunity to build the partners skills and confidence while keeping them on track and reducing dependency on us. By creating a neutral space for issue resolution, we reduce risk and the time to develop solutions, while ensuring accountability of all those involved.
We‘ve worked between many types of partnerships, from within the same industry or sector, to partnering between business, government and community, as well as supply chain partnering.
Who We’ve Helped:
