<div><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; color: #660000;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Principle</span></strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;">: </span></em></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; color: #660000;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;">A Strategic Alliance is the means of levering the normal, ongoing activities of two or more groups to increase each group's influence in relation to targeted segments of the marketplace (visit our <a title="Alliances Leadership Tool" rel="Alliances Leadership Tool" href="http://www.regisgroup.com/newfromRegis/pdfLeadershipTools/20101201-building-strategic-alliances.pdf">Alliances Leadership Tool</a> for more information). </span></em></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; color: #660000;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br></span></em></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 10pt;">As the current marketplace continues to strengthen, there is a distinct benefit to seeking out new and / or expanding on previous working alliances, sometimes in what might seem unusual places. Well constructed Alliances have the effect of broadening recognition and influence in the marketplace for each party, as well as adding a layer of revenue sources.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 10pt;">In hunting for potential allies, it can be beneficial to look at previous or existing competitors (to the extent this is not in breach of anti-trust considerations), who play in parts of your market that are of interest to you, but not enough to build a complete entry package.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 10pt;">As a part of your annual planning, it makes sense to formally review how to lever the strengths of other groups to compliment the services you offer without constructing a market unit from the ground up.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="color: #660000;"><strong><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 10pt;">Basic Principles</span></strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 10pt;">Be careful that in forming a working partnership, the leadership of each partner communicates recognition of the independent nature of the partner within the group, to avoid planning that is cut short when the expectation is a response to direct as opposed to request activities. At the start of each such relationship it is critical to lay out the joint planning protocols for each contributing group.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 10pt;">Making an assumption of action in the absence of formally written plans and measurable promises is risky business.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="color: #660000;"><strong><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 10pt;">Working Steps</span></strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 10pt;">At the start, designate mechanisms promoted internally by each of the partners, including mutually agreed to joint decision-making mechanisms. Agree formally in writing to the common market segment being mutually targeted and the common result being sought. </span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 10pt;">At the very beginning, determine ALL joint strategies and agree upon the relative resources and schedule of joint activities and how they fit against individual initiatives.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 10pt;">It is most important to understand that these are NOT esoteric steps, but a critical part of planning for success with a Partner. </span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 10pt;">As important as it is to think out and write down strategic intentions within your group, the stakes in not doing so rise sharply in an alliance. Remember, as with so much of group business efforts, </span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="color: #660000;"><em><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 10pt;">“The Plan is The Thing!” </span></em></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; color: #660000; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">A:</span> </strong></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span> </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 10pt;">The single largest benefit has been serious progress in technology and communication. Advanced computer programs improve our ability to analyze, plan, and then to communicate the results.

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; color: #851e20; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">A:</span> </strong></span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> The younger generation is not as focused on acquiring key management skills and undertaking critical interactions necessary to stimulate growth as I would hope. There is a very different attitude in the current group from the beliefs of the boomers. As a result, volunteer organizations have been having increasing trouble attracting younger members, and getting younger members to engage as volunteers on projects.</span></div>

This is undermining our ability to both produce and fill the capacity of U.S. companies. There is a great deal of discussion in the groups with which I am engaged as to our inability to compete without dropping our standards. It is a detriment to the US economy to rely on outsourcing jobs to other countries as a means to lower the cost of doing business.</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></div>

<div><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: #660000;"><em>Organizational entities are formed because of the universal truth that they will multiply the results of individual efforts</em></span>. </span></div>

<div><span style="color: #660000;"><strong><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> Ground Rules</span></strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 10pt;">Alliances between organizations are formed because of the somewhat shakier reality that combining the intentions of two or more entities will similarly benefit the individual groups.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 10pt;">For Alliances to work a set of rock-solid ground rules must underpin the effort.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 10pt;">Without clear structure to the relationship, not only the venture, but potentially the individual partners are at risk. In this time of a damaged economy, when recovery and strong steps forward are the order of the day, the formation of Alliances, some most unlikely in other times, is worth a serious review.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 10pt;">This edition of The Agenda touches what we hope is a bit more than the surface of the issue with more targeted methods appearing in future months both here and on our <a title="website" rel="website" href="http://www.regisgroup.com/">website</a> under: NEW FROM REGIS - NEW LEADERSHIP TOOLS.</span></div>

<div><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: 10pt;">The bottom line is that corporate alliances, while not a critical function, significantly enhance the prospects for success when they are constructed correctly (and yes, for those of you who have been a part of Regis Planning sessions, I have applied our universal voting categories to this issue).</span></div>
