We
Help You Grow Your Company.
Joint ventures,
alliances, and other corporate partnerings are fueling the growth
of the world's most successful companies. The demand to deliver
more new products, quicker, and at lower prices has never been
greater. Joint ventures and other collaborative arrangements
are revolutionizing how winning companies compete by permitting
businesses to enter new markets and field new products.
Partnerings
can take many forms such as: a strong relationship with a major
customer, a partnership with a source of distribution, a relationship
with a supplier of innovation or product, or an alliance in
pursuit of a common goal. Sometimes corporate partners form
a new jointly owned company. In other instances one partner
purchases equity in the other. Most often, the relationship
is defined by a contract.
Corporate
partnerings are the quickest way to grow your company, particularly
in times of change. Without implementing difficult and time-consuming
internal changes, a partnering permits you to:
* Move to decisively seize opportunities before they disappear.
* Respond more quickly to change.
* Adapt with greater flexibility.
* Increase your market share.
* Gain access to a new market or penetrate markets before your
competition.
* Shore up internal weaknesses.
* Gain a new skill or area of competence.
* Succeed although your company lacks otherwise key resources.
Here is
how you can effectively use partnering to grow your company.
Partner
Acquisition Campaign.
No matter
what it is, there is always someone who has what you need: More
Customers, Additional Capital, New or Additional Distribution
Channels, Preexisting Relationships or Old Fashioned CLOUT,
Experience with a New Business Model, Agility and Innovation,
New Products or Services, Specialized Knowledge, Expertise or
Experience, Low-Cost or Unique Production Capacity
Our structured
approach will help you find and close deals with the partners
you need.
- First
we develop a one-page strategy sheet for your specific situation
and analyze your competitive position.
- We do
an eight-point analysis to answer these questions:
- Who
has what you need?
- What
it is you have, or can obtain, that they may need?
- How
best to get them to seek you out?
- We then
develop and implement a campaign to draw pre-qualified and
motivated potential partners to you.
- Finally,
we help you negotiate and close your deals.
Each campaign
is tailored to your specific needs. You decide which components
you buy from us and which you do yourself. If you want to handle
the campaign in-house, we can train or provide back up.

Partnering Arbitration and Mediation Services.
It can
often be helpful for partners to have an independent third party
available when they need help. For example:
* In assembling
a partnering you can run into difficult issues that can be resolved
with help from an independent and reasonable view point.
* Lawyers can get locked up into unreasonable positions. As
an outsider we can ask the tough questions to open the issues,
find reasonable compromises, and break the deadlock.
