Making collaboration work
In Robert’s mind, the two most toxic words in the social enterprise lexicon are ‘consortium’ and 'compact.’ He says that consortia are usually little more than weak attempts to eliminate competition by forming a club. Compacts are more of the same he says, but often led by people who should know better. Both he argues discourage innovation, instead encouraging inertia and more of the same.
But public funding cuts and growing consumer interest in the social values of the firms they patronise present new and exciting opportunities.
Robert Ashton can see beyond the obvious. He also has an uncanny knack of knowing the right people. This means he can help you find people, then broker a collaborative relationship that adds value to both organisations.
It takes two to tango; let Robert find partners able to make your world whirl!
