Leveraging competitive advantages - Orientation consulting on cooperative development and active cooperation management

Offer: Create structures, activate potentials, eliminate risks



Starting situation & objective: "Cooperative blind flight" as an economic risk

Competitive advantage: Cooperative development - Strategic partnerships and cross-border cooperation are not soft feel-good factors. They are investments that must pay off.

Nevertheless, practice shows that many partnerships are started without clear key figures, milestones, and process control. As a result, valuable management capacities are blocked, internal resources are burned, and innovation risks are externalized. We call this "cooperative blind flight".

At the same time, many organizations are sitting on undiscovered internal treasures: cultural competencies, language skills, or technological know-how of their own workforce often remain invisible and unused in day-to-day business.

The prerequisite for successful cooperation is active cooperation management (ACM). Tasks include aligning the internal foundation, opening doors to relevant contacts, managing processes, and analyzing success.

The ACM orientation consulting initially looks inward. With it, you pull the emergency brake before an unstructured start. You transform the topic of cooperation into a professional, high-yield management instrument. The goal is to examine your strategic foundation, make hidden resources (Hidden Assets) visible, and determine the exact delta of external demand before potentially making expensive bad investments.

Scope of services: The 4 modules of the ACM orientation consultation

The consultation follows a standardized, process-oriented framework that guarantees maximum analytical depth with minimal disruption to your daily operations.

A systematic ACM orientation consultation is designed for maximum efficiency. The entire process – from the initial analysis to the final delivery of the recommendations – covers a clearly defined period of 5 working days.



Module 1: Basic analysis & audit

Status quo and structure

Working method: remote

Timeframe: approximately 1 working day



  • Focus: What exactly is being developed – an organization (such as a company, association, NGO) , an economic area, or a project?

  • Activities: Analysis of your current organizational and project structures with regard to cooperative developments and previous cooperation experiences.

  • Focus: How have interfaces been managed so far?; Where do you stand today, is there active cooperation management?; What specific development goals have been defined?

  • Result: Transparent recording of the status quo and identification of historical friction losses.

Module 2: In-house workshop

Alignment, interfaces and mindset

Working method: on-site at your organization

Timeframe: 1 working day

  • Activities: Moderated workshop with key decision-makers and relevant department heads (e.g., business development, procurement, sales or product development)

  • Focus: What is expected from the cooperation?; Internal perspective (cooperative maturity); Breaking down departmental and silo thinking; Developing initial, concrete measures for building and shaping successful collaborations

  • Result: A shared understanding of structured diversity and acceptance of cooperative processes at the management level.

Module 3: Potential analysis

Inventory of hidden assets and delta determination

Working method: on-site at your organization / remote

Timeframe: approx. 2 working days

  • Activities: In-depth analysis of existing resources (contacts, experience, capital, personnel, time) and an external look towards markets and potential cooperation partners.

  • Focus: Systematic identification of untapped internal potential (e.g., linguistic, cultural competencies); identification of initial, relevant contacts for establishing collaborations; comparison of current capacities with the requirements of the development goal.

  • Result: Precise calculation of the delta – what is available internally, what needs to be supplied externally?

Module 4: Recommendations for action & final discussion

The business roadmap

Working method: remote

Timeframe: approximately 1 working day

  • Activities : Summary of results, useful tips and concrete recommendations for action in a directly implementable, strategic document.

  • Focus: Concrete allocation of time budgets, definition of key performance indicators and milestones for risk minimization, preparation of clear interfaces to specialists (e.g., insurance/personnel management), if the gap requires it.

  • Result: A razor-sharp, economically pragmatic roadmap for your active cooperation management.



Your Investment & Economic Benefit (ROI)

Consulting fee for the entire package (Modules 1–4) flat rate: 4,500 euros (fixed price based on 5 working days) plus travel expenses and statutory VAT.

Why this investment pays off from day 1:

  1. Avoidance of misallocations: You secure your project structurally before capital flows into uncontrolled partnerships. The costs of a single failed or blocked cooperation far exceed the investment in this audit.

  1. Cost reduction through own resources: By making your hidden assets visible, you save hard cash for external consultants or agencies, as you recruit bridgeheads directly from your own workforce.

  1. Time-to-market acceleration: Clear structures in product development, procurement, or sales drastically shorten implementation phases and secure reliable market shares.

I look forward to meeting you
