Offer-strategies demand
project-independent preparations when they are pointed on severe result
duty or on ready-made solutions. The high investments and the broad
knowledge that are necessary are often too much for one company. In that
case long-term partnership, both commercial and operational, is wanted.
Project partnering starts with a client and his project, while a market
vision is the starting point of enduring partnering. In long lasting
partnerships companies in a network develop a common offer-strategy
meanwhile each keeps its own identity and provides its specific
contribution. Such an alliance is a shape of organization across the
borders of the own company. Marketing and product development are joined
network disciplines. The knowledge of the organizational aspect of such
collaboration is well spread. Less well known is the organization
psychological facet. Companies have the tendency to oppress the existing
diversity for the purpose of a vague and unrealistic consensus.
Recognizing, acceptation and using the relevant differences (in targets,
interests, means, culture, systems and ideas) is absolutely needed, because
one party offers something the others are missing. To reach this patience
has to be practiced. And besides it takes time to give shape to the complex
social and operational processes and to expand trustworthiness.
On several offering levels this type of partnership
can be used, in restructuring parts of cities, building complexes of
private or commercial properties as well as in the development of complex
building systems.
