First Steps & Stages Of The Joint Venture Journey

We believe that there are Five key stages to building successful Joint Ventures, which create a cycle that can build momentum and successful results.

The First Stage is Preparation – doing the internal and external work to set yourself up for success. Auditing and assessing the assets and resources already in place and the gaps that need to be filled.

The Second Stage is Exploration – discovering, inquiring and exploring creative ideas, and testing their potential. This is an art and science.

The Third Stage is Creating – going from what’s possible to what is practical and a win-win-win, creating the structures for success. This includes both the agreements and technologies and creative assets.

The Fourth Stage is Organising – making sure all the elements required are built and in place, co-ordinates, and organised ready for launch. Success requires scheduling the elements as well as training, developing and developing the partners involved.

The Fifth Stage is Optimising – Like many things in life and business joint ventures are a work in progress, and need to be optimised to ensure success is created and maintained. This is during the initial activation and then ongoing to keep things on track and on completion to see what lessons are learnt and ideally explore new joint ventures with your partners.

The first step in having The Joint Venture Company™ work with you to help you reach your business goals is to prepare to succeed and to complete one or more of either a Web Audit™ , a Joint Venture Audit™ or an Opportunity Audit™.

  • C – Opportunity Audit™

Once you’ve chosen please contact us.

Strategic Consultancy

Once you have complete your Web Audit™ and/or your Joint Venture Audit™  and/or your Opportunity Audit™ you will have the option to implement some or all of our suggestions and recommendations with or without The Joint Venture Company’s ongoing help, support and advice.

We find that many clients trust us and would like our support in ensuring that they optimally leverage the valuable insights and opportunities which the Audits present and they choose to engage with us on a retainer  as strategic consultants for business development.

At a certain point of our consultancy, we are able to recommend clients into existing global joint venture networks after they have successfully completed several joint ventures and achieved other key strategic stages.

The first step in engaging The Joint Venture Company™ at the strategic consulting level is to engage us to complete one or more of the audits.

A – Web Audit™

The Web Audit™ is a proprietary process that is a stand alone piece of work during which our consultants and partners will gather information from you and carry out an “audit” using some well known and some proprietary tools and processes and review your online footprint and web assets. This is an essential step as potential joint venture partners or clients will almost inevitably look for information about you, your partners, your reputation and your brands online.

The Web Audit™ includes:

  • A live process (on average c. 30-45mins) {Either done physically live or remotely}
  • A review of your objectives and goals
  • A discovery process
  • An asset confirmation review (relevant to Web Activities)
  • A confidential investigation
  • Key statistics disclosure and statistical analysis
  • “Secret Shopper Activities”

At the end of the Web Audit Report™ process you will receive specific suggestions of areas to focus on, and next actions that you can take.

B – Joint Venture Audit™

The Web Audit™ is a proprietary process that is a stand alone piece of work during which our consultants and partners will gather information from you and carry out an “audit” using some well known and some proprietary tools and processes and review your capabilities, readiness and attractiveness for participating in joint ventures. This is an essential step as potential joint venture partners or clients will almost inevitably require these elements to be in place and without them the optimal successes of the joint ventures can not be assured.

The Joint Venture Audit™ includes:

  • A live process (on average c. 1-2 hours)  {Either done physically live or remotely}
  • A review of your objectives and goals
  • A discovery process
  • An asset confirmation review (relevant to Joint Ventures)
  • A confidential investigation
  • Key statistics disclosure and statistical analysis
  • “Secret Shopper Activities”
  • System Testing
  • Ethics Testing
  • Integrity Testing

At the end of the process you will receive your Joint Venture Audit Report™ with specific suggestions of areas to focus on, and next actions.

C – Opportunity Audit™

The Opportunity Audit™ is a proprietary process that is a stand alone piece of work during which our consultants and partners will gather information from you and carry out an “audit” using some well known and some proprietary tools and processes and review, investigate and identify opportunities for joint ventures that may be already possible or potentially possible. Some of these opportunities you may already know about, others may not seem possible from your perspective (thought we are likely to have information and resources you don’t have access to which makes them possible and probably), and others which you may not have had access to without our involvement. This is an essential step in starting to optimally orientate your thinking and focus around creating tactical and strategic joint ventures and understanding our methodologies.

The Opportunity Audit™ includes:

  • A live process (on average c. 4-6 hours)  {Either done physically live or remotely}
  • A review of your objectives and goals
  • A proprietary visioning process
  • A discovery process
  • An asset confirmation review (relevant to potential opportunities and strategic Joint Ventures)
  • A confidential investigation
  • Key statistics disclosure and statistical analysis
  • Creativity Maximisation Technology™
  • Integrity Technology™

At the end of the process you will receive your Opportunity Audit Report™ with specific suggestions of areas to focus on, and next actions.

So, the question to consider now is which would you like to begin with the Web Audit™ , the Joint Venture Audit™ or the Opportunity Audit™?
