Consulting & Research

We employ the Key Principles of Collaborative Networks to design, implement, measure, and assess the effectiveness of various types of collaborative networks, such as research teams, strategic alliances, ecosystems, and public-private partnerships. The principles underlying our methodology are universally applicable across all collaborative networks. How those principles are applied to the structure and operation of each collaborative network must be fit for purpose and is thus, unique.

A few of the ways in which we employ the methodology to get better outcomes from collaboration include:

  • Designing and launching collaborative networks
  • Using assessment tools and metrics to guide good collaborations to becoming great collaborations
  • Improving the effectiveness of alliance governance
  • Creating and growing alliance management functions
  • Intervening and re-launching of troubled collaborations
  • Providing educational content and tools to develop organization-wide collaborative ability
  • Empowering team leaders
  • Leading team building events
