What We Want from Partners

What this page shows you

This page sets out what you want from a partnership: your expectations of partners and the criteria you use to select them. It is the plain statement of what a good partner looks like from your side of the table.

Why it matters

Clear expectations make partnerships easier to run. When both sides know what is expected, there are fewer surprises and less friction later on. Having your criteria written down also speeds up decisions, because you can hold a prospective partner up against a known standard instead of debating each one from scratch.

How to use it

Use this as a checklist when you assess new partners and as a reference when you set the tone in early conversations. Pair it with the What We Can Offer Partners page: together they describe both sides of a healthy partnership, what you give and what you expect in return. If your expectations change as you learn what works, let your consultant know so the criteria stay useful.
