Building collaboration capability case stories

The client : First Group

The challenge :

When First Group appointed Save the Children as their major charity partner they identified that Ideathon could help both new partners collaborate together at the outset of their relationship.
The aim was to help both partners to agree their shared goals and to create a range of key events, initiatives and activities together.

The approach :

The Partner Ideathon combined the thinking of people from Save the Children and the First Group business team to generate new ways to solve shared community, social or business challenges.

We worked closely with both partners to create an extraordinary group with the right blend of knowledge, creativity and expertise from a network of key relationships both within and outside the business.

The Ideathon was not about finding common ground. 
It was about bringing out the best in each other – exploring for new ground.

The impact :

A shared understanding of how First Group and Save the Children would make the partnership successful and a shortlist of agreed events, initiatives and activities for future development.
