• When you engage and enroll your customers early and often,
you just might learn something.
• You can never know too much about your customers, the value
chain, and the competitive landscape.
• Listening to your customers is necessary, but not sufficient;
you bring power to the relationship through an imaginative
understanding of their needs.
• And when it comes to being viewed as an industry leader,
the only voices that really matter are those of your customers.

• Partnerships are about access, not control.
• A thoughtful and well-written Joint Development Agreement may
be worth the effort versus a simple Confidentiality Agreement.
• Your initial attraction to a partner might be their unique technology
or channel access, but lasting partnerships are built on a
foundation of mutual trust and cultural fit.
• Find partners who can contribute to multiple growth opportunities.
• For truly business-critical initiatives, demand a dedicated team
and dedicated leader (a.k.a. supervising executive) – and ensure
your partner is equally committed and resourced.

Delivering Green Without Compromise
Lessons Learned – Partnerships
Business Confidential
• If you’re not the first to market, you’d better commit to being
the best.
• Know your limitations and face reality.
• Open Innovation is neither free nor easy – and don’t expect
it to take only one big success for everyone to “get it.”
• To maximize the impact of an innovation, there’s no substitute
for real science – particularly science that has IP protection.
• Don’t underestimate the challenges of bringing a new-to-the-world
solution to the market.
• If you believe you’re a commodity, you’re right. There are plenty
of opportunities to innovate and differentiate versus competition,
even in the category you created 75+ years ago.
