Partnerships, when done well, can produce innovative solutions to seemingly intractable challenges and can have more far-reaching and sustainable impacts than can be achieved by any one organization. However, collaborative partnerships, based on mutually-beneficial and trusting relationships, are hard and can be particularly difficult to navigate and negotiate without external support.

Ernst Consulting can help you negotiate complex, high-stakes partnerships, build trust, draft fair, effective and sustainable agreements, avoid typical partner pitfalls, and create shared accountability and performance tracking systems. 

We can also develop a partnering strategy that leverages your organization’s unique strengths and identifies ways to effectively partner with complimentary organizations to achieve your goals, including exploring specific partnering opportunities at the local, regional or national level.
