The Learning Ladder meets the Corporate Ladder!
Nobody is good at everything! – But we never stop learning, provided we expose ourselves to the right (teachers, lessons, environment, expertise).
‘Alliances take three forms: service alliances, opportunist alliances and stakeholder alliances. The first, a service alliance, is where two or more organisations form a cross company consortium to undertake a special project with a limited life span. Such alliances are usually considered when the resources of the various partners are insufficient to allow them to undertake the project by themselves. For this reason, many such alliances involve research and development projects. Ford and General Motors collaborating on research into the development of new materials for making cars is an example of this. This approach allows organisations to mobilise resources, often on a large scale, whilst limiting their exposure and protecting their independence. It is the limited purpose of the consortium which makes it possible even for competitors to join together for mutual benefit’
