Ed Rigsbee, CSP, the Collaboration Expert, can help your organization to grow bottom line results through:

Your Collaborative Advantage

Your Collaborative Advantage is a paradigm, an idea that is shared through lecture, consulting and interactive activities. You will learn how to access the awesome power of partnership for your business and personal life. 

 

My presentation style is research enabled and bottom-line. Sometimes I'll get in-your-face, but I'll do it with a touch of humor. Allow me to make a difference in your life, both on a personal and professional level. I'll help you to access your own collaborative advantage for home and work.

 

You must develop your alliances and collaborations through competency. My promise is to assist you in Elevating Your Business Relationships from Ordinary to Extraordinary, a key element in business growth.  

 

Because of my nationally recognized expertise in strategic alliance development and implementation, I created for you, The Star of Success to demonstrate my idea of Total Organizational Partnering System (TOPS). 

 

This is five areas for you to look at building collaborations with a purpose:

First, become the optimal partner with whom others seek out. Second, help your employees to have an emotional ownership in the growth and success of your enterprise. Third, position your business in the eyes of your customers to be the vendor, supplier or merchant of choice rather than simply one more solicitor. Fourth, build an iron clad partnership with your suppliers. They'll help you to achieve more than you ever expected. Fifth, look externally to develop alliances with other organizations, sometimes your competitors. Share your core competency and shore up your short comings with the core competencies of others.

 

 


Your Collaborative Advantage program elements (depending on time constraints) include:

Section 1
