Partnership Building
You can’t move mountains alone. Extend your reach by builiding
lasting, strategic partnerships
Getting where you need to go takes a united effort from groups who stay focused on a common goal. Getting diverse stakeholders on the same page is the most critical, and sometimes most difficult step in the process.
We specialize in engaging stakeholders, creating open dialogues to articulate visions, driving consensus, and putting plans in place to move work forward.
“Alison is committed. She has drive, passion, and a love for what she does. We brought seven industry partners and three universities together to hammer out the foundations for the Oregon Manufacturing Innovation Center, and Alison was the catalyst, driving our work to completion and securing a $24-million total endowment from the state to sustain our launch. We wouldn’t be where we are today without having her at the tiller from the beginning.”

Case Study
Establishing partnerships to ensure a bright future for manufacturing
Alison served as launch director for Oregon Manufacturing Innovation Center R&D, convening diverse stakeholders to create a public-private partnership to enhance the competitiveness of the advanced manufacturing industry. The organization has grown to include more than 35 partners and secure more than $80 million in public and private funds. This exponential growth is a direct result of strategic planning and successful partnership.
