1. Shared interests are the cornerstone− Maintain interlock across sponsors, functions & geos

− Build trust through honesty, communication and performance

− Focus on the shortest path to first wins

2. Set clear, objective metrics, roles, boundaries and governance

3. Have frank discussions early and often− Level match, identify areas of sensitivity/contention, anticipate

challenges

− Pre-emptive conflict resolution and re-focus on intersecting interests. Focus on the issues, but don’t forget individual perspectives & bias.

− Test boundaries and admit fault.

4. Never assume the situation will remain constant− Competitive pressures will mount

− When the facts change, change the plan

− Evolve the relationship
