Case 1
Multiple partners
Problem
Three partners who had been developing a successful company for more than five years initially assigned roles among themselves on their own. Due to false expectations of one another, the partners had accumulated mutual grievances and wanted to resolve the conflict "the hard way". Their multi-million dollar shared business began to lose its sustainability, and revenue began to fall, as did profits.
Result
The partner session made it possible identify each partner's needs request by talking to them. They agreed on their roles, established a new distribution of profits and shares, approved the terms and procedure for exiting the partnership, and signed a partnership contract. They started a new company with a clean slate.
Case 2
Family business
Problem
The father handed over the business to his son, but continued to give orders to employees, thereby undermining his son's authority and ideas. The father was conservative and reluctant to adopt modern methods and technology. Due to the uncertainty that existed between the partners, the employees continued to listen to the father. The company's key performance indicators deteriorated.
Result
Through the partnership session, the father and son overcame the former's conservatism together. They openly discussed and agreed on the company's development strategy, synchronized the ways to achieve common goals, and assigned each partner his own role and fuctions. The partnership agreement also influenced the work of the employees.
Case 3
Negative experience
Problem
An entrepreneur had had a negative experience with previous partnerships, lost faith in them and therefore avoided them for a long time. However, he became interested in a project with a complex product, a good sales team, and strong marketing. Still, he was reluctant to enter a new partnership without discussing all possible risks and uncomfortable issues first.
Result
Thanks to the partnership session, the future partners identified their strengths and weaknesses, their most important values, the boundaries between friendship and business, as well as algorithms for attracting investors, responding to crises, and leaving the partnership. The future partners signed a partnership contract.
Case 4
Different backgrounds
Problem
The partners had been developing a joint business for more than three years. Due to their significant age gao and different cultural backgrounds (one of the co-owners was a foreign citizen), the partners could not agree on key fundamental issues, principles, rules, and "laws" of running their joint business for a long time.
Result
Thanks to a field partnership session in English, which involved an expert on culture studies (to take into account the intercultural nuances), the partners were able to discuss their roles and expectations of one another, address non-competition among related companies, re-examine matters of investment and profit distribution, and hear each other out.
