Methodology
We believe the road map for successful relationships needs to be systematic, clearly defined, focused, proactive and — above all — clearly understood on all sides. Our methodology is a “best practice” phased approach designed to maximise the likelihood of success, following and adapting the ISO standard 44001:2017 (collaborative business relationship management).

The Phased Approach
Strategic Compatibility
Identifying potential partners compatible with our client’s requirements.
Rapid Familiarisation
Assisting our clients to become familiar rapidly with the current strategic priorities of prospective partners.
Decision-Maker Access
Facilitating access to senior decision-makers across sectors and geographies.
Mutual Understanding
Enabling our client to understand the needs of its prospective partners — and vice versa.
Proposal Architecture
Assisting in the preparation and presentation of proposals, and responding to requests for proposals.
Negotiation & Close
Driving forward the information-exchanging, negotiating and closing process.
Investor Engagement
Keeping our client’s investors on board and engaged throughout the programme.
Track, Adapt, Accelerate.
This staged process enables our clients to set and track deliverables, manage risk, and accelerate or exit programmes which exceed or fall short of target — as circumstances change. Often working with our client’s professional advisors and corporate PR agency, SCA-Partner provides complementary strategic and operational resources.
The full breadth and depth of our professional services across major markets can be applied to programmes of different duration, whether requiring short-term support or sustained continuity for medium to long term. Typically, we complement our core team with additional expertise — whether industry or geographic — as required; with more than twenty years of successful experience, we have a large pool of experts in many countries and sectors on whom to call.
