Business growth
comes from collaborations, and they are
known by many names; strategic alliances, joint ventures,
partnering, collectives, licensing agreements, and strategic sourcing--just
to name a few. These various terms have significantly different
legal connotations and ramifications. Collaborations, structured
and implemented correctly can deliver a substantial return on
investment of time, energy, and capital. Collaborations done
incorrectly will almost always be costly and deliver disastrous
results. Do it right, and
receive the benefits.
Trade associations
and professional societies of today must continually prove the
return on investment they deliver to members in order to stay
relevant. As these organizations morph from the old model of an
annual meeting and twelve magazines a year to one of helping
foster communities of reciprocity;
industry stake holders will seek membership in organizations
that deliver maximum ROI. Today, membership organization leaders must
see their organization through the eyes of the non-member and
be capable of proving the actual yearly sustainable real-dollar
ROI that their current members receive in order to maintain high-level
member retention and continual new recruitment. Turn your
members into recruiting evangelists.
~~ Through collaboration, we can do more,
get more and be more. ~~
