Truly exploiting the benefits of Key Account Management has to be based on changing the dynamics of the relationships with clients to a more holistic engagement.
Collaborative approaches broaden the capability of organisations to respond to (pull) or propose (push) more complex propositions to meet the demands of the market or specific challenges. All too frequently in the public and private sectors seek to use the term ‘collaboration’ as a catchall solution or magic panacea for the challenges that they face. Whilst in its dictionary definition ‘’the act of working with another person or group of people to create or produce something’’ is fine but in order to translate into action we delve further;
- Collaboration without context is just an aspiration
- Collaborative without setting expectations is wishful thinking
- Collaborative behaviour without definition provides no measure of reality
- Collaborative working without rules of engagement is chaos
