Executive summary
A diagnostic that scores both sides of a prospective partnership across eight capability domains and turns every gap into an owned, dated register item before structure and terms are negotiated.
What is inside
What the assessment covers
The asset guides a partnership lead through an evidence-based readiness assessment run after the baseline facts are established and before the business case is built: it covers the capability domains examined on both sides, how scores are anchored in demonstrated behavior, how gaps and dependencies are registered with owners, how shared value at risk is quantified, and how the findings constrain which partnership structures remain viable.
- Scope: the eight partnering capability domains assessed before any structure is chosen
- Who runs the assessment and who must see its results
- How readiness is scored on demonstrated behavior and documents, not self-report
- How the prospective partner is assessed on the same anchors from available evidence
- How capability gaps, constraints and dependencies are registered and owned
- How gaps are translated into shared value at risk and structural constraints
- Remediation choices and how they feed the partnership investment case
- The readiness gate that precedes options appraisal and term negotiation
