Should We Join (or Start) that Coalition? Top Strategic Considerations - Episode 41

Anyone who's been part of the coalition knows that it can be a complicated set of relationships. Some coalition experiences are fantastic. Others not so much. The best thing is when you and your coalition partners are fully aligned and everyone is pulling their weight and working together to get the results you've all agreed you want. The worst is when you get involved in a coalition and it becomes a huge headache without any of the results you wanted. To keep your coalition experiences in that happy zone, it's important to ask some very strategic questions before you leap.

In this episode, we share:

• The number one thing that will determine a coalition’s prospects for success
• Three strategic questions to ask about a coalition to determine if it’s worthy of joining
• The key internal strategic questions to answer in your organization, to determine if joining this coalition will be worth your time and effort
• How to determine your organization’s ideal role and level of involvement in a given coalition
• How to evaluate when and whether you should convene a coalition yourself
