Partnering Approach
Project Success = Initial Partnering Workshop X Ongoing Partnering Reinforcement
Partnering is a continuous process whereby initial partnering relationships are reinforced through ongoing reinforcement practices that are agreed to at the onset. Partnering succeeds when there is an established partnering process beyond the initial workshop. Our approach is to work closely with all parties to design and facilitate a partnering process that is customized for each project. We emphasize and facilitate establishing an initial foundation of trust, and create ongoing reinforcement throughout the project based on the principle that one without the other limits the success of the project.
