Co-Working Partnerships & Strategic Alliances

Define What a Partnership Should Make Possible.

Partnership planning starts with the contribution each organization can make and the shared purpose that brings them together.

Potential relationships may involve complementary services, market reach or operating capabilities. Before discussing activity, clarify the business need and the responsibilities that any working arrangement would require.

How the Scope Can Be Shaped

Partnership objectives

Describe the opportunity in concrete terms: the audience to serve, capability to add or activity to support. Distinguish the immediate objective from broader ambitions so prospective arrangements can be discussed on a common basis.

Partner alignment

Compare the intended contribution, expectations and working style of the organizations involved. Identify the information needed to understand fit and the questions that remain open before a relationship is taken further.

Working arrangements

Outline the proposed responsibilities, communication points and review process. Record dependencies and decision ownership so both organizations understand how a potential collaboration would operate.

Preparing for the First Discussion

1. Define the business need and intended contribution of a partner.
2. Frame the criteria and questions for an initial discussion.
3. Document the proposed working model and unresolved points.
