. . . Geo / W3D Partnership Philosophy

The Partnership Mission is to help each partner: (1) make a profit; and (2) have fun. This will be accomplished by:

Learning from proven processes, like how nature works:

  • Individuals, Teams, Companies, and Countries require economic "nutrients" to grow and reproduce,
    just as cells, organs, organisms, and bodies require biologic nutrients to grow and reproduce.
  • Maslow defined the following hierarchy of human needs: safety; shelter; food; society; and then esteem.
    Growing a new company starts when there are services or products creating cash flow to indivuals to pay to meet these needs.
  • The way companies, teams, and individuals keep track of their contribution is by the cash flow they generate.
  • Cash transfers for work done keep individuals, teams, and companies growing,
    just like water keeps trees and plants growing.

Running the Cooperation or Partnership using proven business practices:

  • Each side honoring International Intellectual Property (IP) Laws and protecting the other side's IP.
  • Each side reporting to the other side even the appearance of wrong doing regarding IP,
    or other improper business practice by any employees or customers.
  • Each side defining what they are good at (see NetWork.html for a summary of the W3D NetWork).
  • Each side identifying potential customers and defining the needs of these customers.
  • Each side developing products and productizing them for sale in both markets.
  • Each side providing services to the other side based on their products and professional background and experience.
  • Each side using the other sides products and services to gain additional experience.
  • Each side documenting Best Practices and Lookbacks (especially including failures/learnings),
    creating a digital library of reference material for both sides.
  • Each side testing and, when the products are ready for sale, completing the packaging the other sides products for sale in their market.
  • Each side selling the products and consulting services of the other side:
    • Side 1 Identifies an Opportunity:
      • Define Required Products.
      • Define Required Skills.
      • Define Deliverables.
      • Define Timeline.
      • Define Milestones.
      • Define Payment Triggers.
    • Side 2 provides a Bid to meet the Opportunity:
      • Required Retainer.
      • Production Costs.
      • Consulting Costs.
      • Time Needed to Meet Each Milestone.
      • Payment Requirements.
    • Side 1 Negotiates and Signs a Contract Agreeable to Both Sides:
      • Ideally an Umbrella Contract allowing Project Work Orders.
      • Alternatively a Contract for a specific Project.
    • Side 2 Performs Against the Contract:
      • Form a Virtual Team.
      • Collect, Process, Analyze, and Interpret Data.
      • Collect, get Export Approval, and Export Prodcuts.
      • Perform Services.
      • Write Final Report.
      • Document Best Practices and Lookbacks (especially including failures/learnings).
    • Side 1 insures Payments are made to Side 2 according to the contract:
      • 1/3 less 5% at signing of Contract.
      • 1/3 less 5% at a major milestone.
      • 1/3 less 5% at delivery of final report.
      • Note: Side 1 can charge more for the Project than the Bid Side 2 makes or the Contract with Side 2, thus earning more Profit than the 5% sales commission.
  • Projects will use the ADDIM Process:
    • A: Analyze the client needs.
    • D: Design a solution.
    • D: Develop any specialty products required to provide the client a complete solution.
    • I: Implement.
    • M: Maintain and provide customer support.
