Joining Forces
Explore collaboration and merger options.
Build a clear path forward.
An 8-week live program for leaders who want to better understand their Purpose-led collaboration options, clarify what their organisation needs, and work out what comes next.
Purpose-led collaboration can take many forms.
It might begin with an informal partnership, develop into shared services or joint delivery, or lead to a joint venture or merger.
The challenge is knowing which options are worth exploring, what your organisation must protect, how to ensure the right ‘fit’, who should be involved and how to start those conversations well.
This program provides a structured way to work through those questions.
A guided journey, in three phases.
Across the program you'll move from understanding your options to taking clear, practical next steps — building a workbook and plan you can use long after it ends.
Understand & Clarify
Understand your collaboration options
From informal partnerships through to shared service models, joint ventures, shared delivery and mergers.
Clarify your objective, priorities and non-negotiables
Identify what matters most to your organisation and what needs to be protected.
Assess & Engage
Assess readiness
Consider where your organisation is now, what may need attention and who needs to be part of the conversation.
Consider potential partners and how to approach them
Look at what different organisations could bring, where there may be alignment and how to engage to give greatest chance of a successful relationship.
Decide & Act
Gain clarity on merger options for sustainability or scale of impact
Purpose-led mergers are quite different from corporate M&A. Learn the theory, nuances, pitfalls, differing models and the process through which a merger can deliver your objectives.
Build a practical workbook
Develop a personalised set of tools and questions you can use in future Board discussions and engagement with potential partners.
Leave with a clear plan
Turn the learnings into practical next steps for your organisation.

This program is suited to people who are thinking about the future of their organisation and want a more structured way to explore the possibilities.
