Building high-stake partnerships

Great collaboration brings great breakthroughs. Work together, create together, transform together.

Why address this challenge?

Two minds are greater than one. This may sound like a given, but all too often collaboration doesn’t deliver the results you want – or expect. Misaligned ways of working and communicating can hugely undermine the potential of a relationship. Systems might not be able to ‘talk’ to each other. The balance of power may be unequal. And a customer-supplier relationship might need re-casting to become one of equitable partnership instead. Without addressing these fundamentals, high-stake partnerships will never realise their full potential.

Problems we solve

“Business-critical projects are failing to deliver – how can we get people back  on track?”
“We’re selecting a new CPO, but our processes aren’t compatible”
“Our biggest supplier could support us to innovate, but our ways of working and values are not aligned, so people don’t want to collaborate”
“We need joint investment from both us and our business partners to make this a success. But we’re not equally bought in to the possibility”
“The fact our systems don’t ‘talk’ to each other is making business impossible”

How we help

We act both as broker and enabler of high-stake partnerships, using our unique approach to instil Breakthrough Thinking in all parties.
