In a relationship governed by a taught legal contract keeping the
partnership model working is key to success.

9. Lessons Learned
The Partnership must be underpinned by a strong mutual understanding of
all parties issues
Get the issues on the table before the contract is signed
Build the commercial model to allow flexibility
We encountered “known unknowns” from day one
The users requirements will change
The available technology will change
The users data, predictions etc were wrong from the outset
Define the services users really want
Get the model aligned correctly commercially
Costs in the right place
Risks assigned to the correct owner
Profits and risks balance each other
If you want an innovative technical approach prefer a proven commercial model and
vice versa
