According
to INC magazine’s article “Choosing Strategic Partners that Really Partner”
(http://www.inc.com/articles/1999/11/19511.html) by Lisa H. Buksbaum, strategic partners are ones who
create alliances that are mutually beneficial, that are non-competitive, and
that extend the reach, visibility and impact of both partners.
When
considering a strategic partner, Buksbaum presents the following questions to
consider:
“What's your gut feeling about the partner you're
considering? Is there synergy? Is there a natural fit in terms of values,
integrity, and personality? Do your potential partners ‘get it’? That is, do
they have a solid understanding of your objectives and goals, and are they
genuinely excited about joining forces for an alliance?”
With strategic partnership in mind, ICF Chicago
is hosting our annual FREE World Café event on Monday, December 9th
as a way to better partner with YOU in 2014. The topic this year is “Creating a
Premier Coaching Community” which will include scintillating and provocative
conversations with YOU throughout the evening.
Join us for our World Café event so you can
participate in co-creating a Premier Coaching Community in Chicagoland in 2014.
See you there!
Taking
action together,
Wendy

ICF Chicago President
