The Art of Strategic Alliances
Look for three factors before making a decision on a new ally, says Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad. At Catalyst House we’ve made a reputation by organizing great strategic alliances. Here are some basic considerations –
Whenever I consider new strategic alliances or expansion opportunities, I look for three things: good partners, good financing and good management. Whether we’re looking for investors, partners or vendors, we weigh their experience, expertise, track record and character. The quality of the businesses or individuals we align with directly affects our future.
Are your philosophies and standards aligned? Is there trust and respect and a shared vision for the future? Are the business rules and reporting processes clear and manageable? The best partnerships and alliances are ones that have the potential to deliver big wins–for both sides.
