Create a safe sharing environment to start an open dialogue between your potential partners. Next, generate a list of shared goals based on the broadly defined challenge. Select key goals together with your potential partners, taking into account cross-industry commonalities and complementarities. Bring conflicting agendas to the surface. Only when these are made explicit, you can discuss and eliminate them.
