Partnering.

A successful partnering arrangement can only be attained when the partners have an honest and open approach with one another and an ongoing relationship.

They should have clearly defined targets based on the experience gained from each project.

To ensure that performance is monitored throughout, the following points should be taken into consideration:

• transparency
• frank, honest and open approach
• mutual respect
• common aims
• teamwork
• benchmarking
• commitment to continuous improvement
• trust
