Gillian Taylor - Gillian is an experienced consultant, business coach and catalyst for positive change. She provides services that support clients in establishing a clear strategic direction and developing relationships that deliver real, demonstrable value for parties involved.

Gillian has extensive experience in developing business relationships to ensure an effective result. She has developed business partnerships, been involved in outsourcing and large complex relationships, including alliances between large NZ and Global corporations.

She has worked with companies in IT and Telecommunications, Energy, Dairy Industry, Government, Oil, Health and Investments. Her experience in Australia and the UK, and living in Singapore for a period, has given her a broad understanding of different cultures and business environments.

Gillian created the Value Management System tools and methods as part of her masters degree at Auckland University Graduate Business School.

Our Mission is to:

• facilitate smart alliances and partnering ventures that support innovation and create sustainable value (for all)
• support businesses structuring for growth and maximising the potential value exchange between stakeholders.

"I am convinced that successful companies will increasingly be those who have developed superior partnering capabilities. The complex global business dynamics require fundamentally sound relationship management skills of those who wish to succeed.

This complexity is compounded by growth in outsourcing, off-shoring, strategic alliances, higher employee expectations, strategic customer / supplier partnerships. The impact of these means that traditional, transactional, control oriented, relationships will not be sustainable.

At its simplest, a business is about the exchange of value between stakeholders. The Partnering process will ensure you establish and manage relationships with a 'fair' and sustainable value exchange."
