THE COLLABORATION IS NEW BUSINESS IMPERATIVE!

Start With Collaboration addresses how businesses can become resilient and even anti-fragile by solving BIG, COMPLEX problems through collaboration. As they do, businesses see an increase in profits, productivity, and innovation.

Lois Sonstegard, PhD, ACC, Author of Start With Collaboration.
START WITH COLLABORATION WILL:
  • Introduce you to collaboration
  • Teach you the benefits of collaboration
  • Help you identify the problems collaboration can solve
  • Give you building blocks to develop successful collaborations
  • Guide you through the collaborative process, and more

When you Start with Collaboration, you are following a proven path to success.

When we collaborate with other businesses and create a COLLABORATION ECOSYSTEM, we create new resources of value. We have designed a number of ways in which you can build your COLLABORATION ECOSYSTEM.

A collaborative ecosystem is a HUGE solution that allows many companies, entities, and individuals to come together to form a collective, a collaboration with the intent of overcoming challenges in the industry.

Typical business models don't allow for collaboration at the level that collaborative ecosystems allow. A new type of model is required to solve our complex challenges. The new model will utilize community skills, talents, and experience to solve these challenges. Collaborative Ecosystem solves these challenges, especially for startups and mid sized companies that need rapid growth.

"Entrepreneurs ask the wrong question all the time, when thinking about a new project, they will ask: 'How can we do this?' Instead, they should be asking, 'Who can do this for us?' If you think that way, all kinds of interesting ideas and collaborations become feasible." (Who, not How)

Benefits of a Collaborative
Ecosystem:

  • Gives you time back
  • Trusted relationships
  • Expanded resources and network
  • More traction faster
  • Leverages other people's talents
  • Pathway for getting investors and meeting their number targets
  • Shared Risk
Downsides of NOT doing
a Collaborative Ecosystem

  • Slow going
  • Lack of resources or insights to move forward
  • Competition beats you to market
  • Nobody to bounce ideas on, meaning you could be launching the WRONG idea/product
Existing Companies can benefit
from Collaborative Ecosystems

  • Increased productivity
  • Increased agility
  • Increased equity
  • Increased innovation
  • Improved balance sheet

IS YOUR BUSINESS FRAGILE?
COLLABORATION IS THE NEW BUSINESS IMPERATIVE.
YOUR FUTURE SUCCESS DEPENDS ON YOUR ABILITY TO COLLABORATE.
DO YOU KNOW HOW?

If “40% of global CEO’s think their organization will not be economically viable in years time …and 75% of CEO’s see decreasing growth in the next year.

  • What contingencies have you developed to quickly adapt to changes that are occurring?
  • Do you know the half life of your business?
  • How much time and money do you spend on finding new opportunities?
  • How are your customer preferences changing and what strategy have you designed to address these changing preferences?
  • Do you have a strategy to efficiently manage your supply chain?
  • How will your employee retention strategy enable you to outperform your competition?
  • How will technology disruptors (for example, AI, metaverse, blockchain) shift how you do business?

You may say, “None of this is new. I have dealt with uncertainty all the years I have been in business.”

Yes, that may be true. It is also true that a shift is occurring in the VELOCITY OF CHANGE.

Today, our problems are more complex and can no longer be solved by a single individual or business.

None of our businesses operate in a vacuum. Businesses everywhere are more interdependent. To succeed and thrive in the next 10 years, we need to approach business with a new perspective. We need to find new opportunities that arise from working together to solve specific concerns. And, this requires a new mindset.
