Partnership Decision Framework
A customized system for making smarter, more consistent, and more defensible partnership investments.
Partnership opportunities rarely deliver the same kind of value.
One may offer significant visibility. Another may provide access to a priority audience. A third may advance community impact or create measurable business growth.
Without shared criteria, comparing those opportunities can become subjective, inconsistent, and difficult to defend.
The Partnership Decision Framework gives your organization a customized system for evaluating new opportunities, reviewing existing partnerships, guiding negotiations, and prioritizing investments.
How It Works:
Through three facilitated working sessions, we’ll translate your organization’s business objectives, brand priorities, audiences, community commitments, and internal capacity into a clear decision process.
Session One: Define Value
We’ll identify your priorities, decision challenges, stakeholders, and definition of a valuable partnership.
Session Two: Build and Test
We’ll establish the criteria, weighting, scoring definitions, and decision thresholds, then test the framework using real opportunities.
Session Three: Apply and Implement
We’ll finalize the framework, apply it to current decisions, and prepare your team to use it consistently throughout 2027.

• Three facilitated working sessions
• Customized evaluation criteria and weighting
• Weighted Excel decision matrix
