Identifying the right partner is crucial for the success of any strategic alliance. The process, however, can be complex. So, where do you begin? The initial step involves understanding your strategic rationale and the value proposition of the alliance. Once you’ve done this, you can embark on the partner selection journey.

In the lead up to Christmas my children were super alert to any presents hidden in the house. They paid lip service to the idea of Santa visiting, preferring to play along in case the pipeline of presents dried up. I had to get creative with hiding spaces, especially when they graduated to things on wheels. We know it’s been a challenging year for non-profits and you’re hunting down hidden revenue opportunities like a beagle sniffs out truffles.

Recent research has focused on the benefits of real-time feedback: See the problem, correct the problem. That probably works if you’re the boss passing feedback on to your subordinate. But if you’re younger and less experienced, going right up to your colleagues to tell them how they could improve is likely to put them on the defensive and make you a bunch of enemies.

Networking can feel a bit scary for many people. For human social relations, small is often beautiful. After all, for a lot longer than modern civilisation has existed, humans lived in small, close-knit hunter-gatherer groups of about 150 individuals. In these groups, we felt safer. We had the capacity to know those around us reasonably well, and to be aware of how they knew each other (which helped us navigate socially).
