The SAM² Methodology: Organizational Partnering Principles

Organizational Partnering requires advanced management capabilities as it requires Internal and External Alignment, increased preparation and due diligence, and different applications of typical scorecard & metric systems. So what exactly makes up an effective partnering program? The same set of Partnership principles apply to multiple types of Partnerships across multiple verticals. These extensible principles represent the fundamentals of effective Organizational Partnering - the SAM² Methodology; they are Strategy, Alignment, Management and Metrics, represented in our logo by four shapes. The blue square represents Strategy, the green circle represents Alignment, the orange triangle represents Management and the shadow underlining it all is Metrics.
