Partnerships and Resources

How the organisation plans and manages its external partnerships and internal resources in order to support its policy and strategy and the effective operation of its processes.

How do you

• collect data in order to understand how sound your cash management and investment decisions are?
• make sure that your sources of information and knowledge are accurate and up to date?
• recognise the importance of your suppliers and other partners?
• keep in touch with new technological developments that might benefit your business?
• ensure that you comply with all legal requirements regarding data and software?

Internal resources include financial resources, buildings, equipment and materials, technology and information and knowledge. External partners can include suppliers, distributors, joint ventures and alliances. Note: suppliers may not always be recognised as formal partners.
