Listen "SoS #25: A Model for Scalable Collaborations"
Episode Synopsis
Collaboration may not be a silver bullet for solving sustainability challenges, but when executed effectively, it becomes a powerful tool. In this episode, we cut through the buzzwords and focus on practical steps for scalable collaboration, exploring:Types of collaboration: Challenges and opportunities associated with within-value-chain collaboration, across-value-chain collaboration, and pre-competitive collaboration.When, where and who to collaborate with (and not): How to identify the right opportunities and partners—and when it’s best to go solo.Creating collaborative initiatives that scale: Key components for setting up partnerships that can scale (not just multiply).Who takes the credit? Innovative tools and accounting practices like differentiated product carbon footprints to verify reductions in collaborative efforts.Budgeting, resources and incentives: Monetary (price premiums, 3rd party financing) and non-monetary incentives (long off-take agreements) to sustain collaboration.Links/ resources :A guide to supply chain engagement
