Partnership Charters

A critical factor in success of any form of partnering relationship is the alignment of the parties.

To support the focus of a partnership (whether an Alliance, Customer/ Supplier partnering or Outsourcing etc) it is valuable for the Leaders to work together and create a Charter.

The Charter is a one page reference and, while the content differs in each case, it typically represents their aligned views of the Shared Vision or Purpose, objectives and either behaviours, values or principles.

The Charter is signed by the Leaders in acknowledgement of their commitment. To keep it visible, people often laminate or frame it and have it ‘on the wall’ where people see it.

The success of a Charter is not only in its content, but in the process through which it is created and the agreement reached by parties.

Client Feedback:

"SAP New Zealand engaged Taylored Solutions to help us develop our internal understanding about Partnership Charters and coach our Account Executives in how to develop them. They provided a framework that covered the Charter as part of an overall Partnering Agreement, which includes the agreed behaviours, goals, engagement model and ongoing performance management."

"The work they (Taylored Solutions) have delivered to date has been very valuable and well received by the Customer we are currently developing a strategic relationship with. We plan to agree and finalise the Agreement and Charter through workshops using Taylored Solutions as our facilitator. We are very satisfied with the results delivered by Taylored Solutions to date."
