Alliancing with Other Businesses
Using X-Engineering to Elevate to the Next Level
|
Partnerships are more essential today than ever before in history. Few businesses can afford to invent, manufacture, sell and service everything that they make without some assistance. Businesses can come together to complement each other's products, services and capabilities - this type of relationship is known as an alliance.
Why Alliances Work
Alliances not only help increase a business' product offering or virtual size, they address the enormous inefficiencies that exists in countless industries. Many businesses keep large and depreciating inventories because they don't have visibility into each other's operations.

Developing a High Performance Business Web
|
The first step in creating a high performance business web is to separate the value proposition that the end customer receives and experiences. Think about the genuine customer needs that your service addresses, not just what you do to get the business. Avoid preoccupation with the channels that stand between you and the real customer. Take apart the end customer's experience in terms of your value proposition as well as the enabling services, resources, business processes and organizational structure into individual components.

In general, business is a competition, where the score is kept in money. Therefore, the allocation of capital, in all its forms, is a critical success factor.
