How Alliances Will Save The World

Complexity is increasing in the world with democratisation of innovation and continually increasing microsegmentation of market. This will lead to emergence of new and many super specialists companies / people offering cutting edge solutions for solving these new problems. Problems that did not exist yesterday. They will build solutions and products to make our lives better, however taking them to people who need them will remain a challenge.

This trend will only accelerate at continually accelerating speed.

Result, people will need to connect and collaborate at ever faster pace. Internet and communication technology will most certainly be an enabler and accelerator but ironically information inconsistencies will increase increasingly. This will make forging high value, long term and far reaching collaboration even harder.

High touch human interactions will continue to be key for building partnerships where deep collaboration is essential.

And in this fast pace world, old fashioned, time tested, trust based relationships will be needed and time, opportunities and skills available to develop them would become far dearer.

This gap of trust deficit and time crunch will be filled by good old alliances. People / companies who will be able to act as enablers in initiating engagements and building strong bonds, to base business relationships upon, will save the day for companies/people who needs them to make world a better place.
