Lessons from Partnering with Larger Partners – AKA Dancing with Elephants
While it’s great to have a “relationship” with a major brand, yet “partnering” with an entity larger than our own comes with risks. During our Members’ Discussion, we’ll look to hear how you have managed to maximize the upside potential, while avoiding getting stepped on? And your principal lessons learned in:
– Balancing Power Dynamics
– Aligning Expectations
– Avoiding Being Swallowed
– Speeding-up Bureaucratic Crawls
– Building Personal Rapport & Trust and
– Leveraging Access to Their Networks, Expertise, and Operations Support
We’ll also look to hear and discuss What Else Is Keeping You Up Nights?
Then, our Featured Member Bob Rose will share Part 2 of his experience of “Dancing with Elephants,” who, after “moving about as fast as pond water,” are finally kicking up their heels – and starting to dance!
Bob Rose is Managing Partner of Rose Strategic Partners, whose current strategic partners include Fortune 200 companies. Previously, he was the Founding CEO (and lead engineer behind) MedWand Solutions. Earlier he held executive positions with Toshiba America, Tandy, CompUSA, Wyle Laboratories, and RED Digital Cameras, inventors of the 4K cinema camera.
