Strategy Bites
Common Ground Conversations
When people see themselves as competitors, it’s hard to convince them to collaborate. Instead of forcing a discussion about partnerships, this strategy focuses on identifying shared values, concerns, and goals. By facilitating a structured conversation about what unites these groups—rather than what divides them—you create the conditions for future collaboration. The goal of this meeting isn’t to solve everything, but to establish enough trust and common ground to make further discussions possible.
