From analysing your ecosystem to forging new partnerships

• Need help navigating your current partnerships?
• Looking for ways to grow alongside your (new) stakeholders?
• ‘What you do yourself, you do better.’ Agree, or do you prefer ‘stronger together’?

Partnerships may evolve over time, turning into your go-to strategy for future growth. At S&L, we dive into your current business model—pinpointing areas where partnerships amplify your efforts, and where they create unwelcome tension.

Using a stakeholder analysis matrix, we map out your stakeholders’ interests and their influence on your business model, providing you with a clear understanding of what contributes and what hinders. Additionally, we delve into your organisation’s ecosystem and explore potential modifications to your business model.

Every organisation, big or small, has a set of core activities necessary for successful operations. For each core activity, we assess its required level of performance to remain competitive, and its strategic significance within your business model.

This knowledge provides clarity on which operations are better managed internally, which activities can be outsourced externally, or where it might be wise to form an alliance or initiate a joint venture.

The next step is all about selecting potential partners. To ensure optimal decisions, we provide a set of criteria you can use. Collaboration can take many forms. Our expertise lies in providing an outside-in perspective, helping you find the right balance between the intensity, complexity, and formalisation of the relationship. If possible, we connect you to our network and introduce you to potential partners.
