The Case for Professional Relationship Management – Making collaborative performance certain
Are you still relying on Time, Cost and Quality to manage your important business relationships?
Are you really satisfied with their performance?
At least 50% of alliances fail in the first year and 80% don’t produce the anticipated benefits. There is another way. We are relationship management experts with a proven track-record. Our PartnerLink services show organisations how to attain collaborative effectiveness and guarantee substantial increases in bottom-line returns, both now and on-going.
SCCI’s services compliment Enterprise Relationship Management. They provide an agreed set of joint performance criteria which will feed into management processes to ensure optimum relationship efficiency and value capture. These will cover the main drivers of innovation, investment, communication, operations and value and, will ensure that the partners focus on the same factors both within their own organisations and across the partnership.
The PartnerLink Service is designed to operate in a variety of situations. These are outlined below. More detail is available by clicking the links:
PartnerLink
PartnerLink– a robust tool used to gauge collaborative performance, to regularly monitor progress and to provide a strategic overview of a portfolio of relationships. It delivers sufficiently detailed analysis and recommendations to allow a change programme to be initiated or supported. It can also be used in these circumstances:
Readiness
Readiness – ‘partnering potential’ used to improve internal partnering capability and thus prepare organisations for collaborating
Portfolio
Portfolio – ‘strategic overview’ used to discover where good and poor practices are situated in your key relationships and allow them to be managed
Alliance
Alliance – ‘multi-party teamwork’ uses the PartnerLink tool to measure the performance and diagnose the issues within an alliance or consortium including supply chains
“The appraisal consists of an online perception survey followed by a joint working session where the survey results are shared and explored in detail. What was really striking was the way the Traffic Light feedback exposed all the issues and opportunities in a single pass. This enabled both our teams to crystallise and confront the priority issues and achieve rapid agreement on moving forward. It created a mood of informed optimism and has given us a robust and structured basis to turn a good partnership into an even better one. This level of engagement and ‘objectivity’ would have taken many months if not quarters to achieve.”
