The primary objective of a partnership is to dovetail internal [client] and external [Greystone] capabilities, resources and perspectives. It’s a synergistic equation... the whole being greater than the sum of its parts.

the internal [client-based] parts of the equation derive from...

•a depth of knowledge (organizational/technical) and experience
•long-term relationships
•ownership [exclusive ‘skin-in-the-game’]
•a comprehensive and grounded view of the culture, organizational structure, lines of business, markets, competitors, and (key) players
•all sorts of human and material resources

the external (greystone) elements derive from...

•demonstrated ability to inculcate a leadership persona [incorporating client-defined skills, abilities, measures of performance and core values] throughout a given population
•a breadth /depth of knowledge in psychology, inter-personal relationships, leadership competencies and organizational dynamics;
•a wealth of experience [spanning over two decades and five continents] within almost every industry imaginable at levels ranging from Board Chairmen to Sr. Executives to Divisional Heads to Supervisors to Individual Contributors
•a ‘halo’ effect [you can’t be a prophet in your own back yard];
•flexible / responsive human and (technologically advanced) material resources.
