Partners Report-August 2023
We have watched our cohort of clients in France, Sweden, Singapore and the UK successfully “pivot” their business models to expand into new markets to take advantage of opportunities provided by very rapid changes in market conditions in the past 18 months. We are pleased to see how our clients, each of which is very different in size, industry and focus, are responding well to a fast-changing business environment; and we have tried to assist in this process as much as we can.
In this context, we note and agree with recent comments of Mr Lawrence Wong, Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister, that the global economy “needs to be prepared for the unpredictable” amid “intense extreme competition” between the US and China.
In our June 2022 Report, we referred to TI Partners’ sponsorship of a new cultural partnership of professional artists and local people, supported by public and private funders, aiming to write and perform the first new opera written about and set in the local area. We are pleased that, after a successful first performance of excerpts from this opera “Our Street”, a full version is expected to be staged in 2024.
Partners Report-June 2022
Our clients’ businesses across borders have continued to develop well, with the trend to more online meetings enabling our clients to find new partners more efficiently, and to strengthen existing partnerships.
Such has been the acceleration in the pace of our partnering business over the past 15 months that we have decided to sponsor our first cultural event, a new opera, titled “Our Street”, which is set in a half-real, half-imagined Lewisham, an inner city borough in south-east London, whose northern border is marked the river Thames.
The production involves a partnering of Lewisham residents who have contributed their personal experience to the themes of the Opera; a group of Opera and modern music professionals led by Tom Guthrie and Gwyneth Herbert; the UK’s Arts Council England; Phoenix Housing, and other local community groups; and private patrons.
“Our Street” is a great example of what can be achieved by a dedicated partnership, in this case between local residents, local community groups, motivated artistic professionals, the Local Authority, central Government Arts funding, and private funders.
Partners Report – March 2021
We are conscious of missing our co-founding German partner, Hans Neisen, who passed away suddenly in 2009; our co-founding Swedish partner Bernt Vikstrom who passed away in 2018, and Filip Vikstrom, who was our Swedish partner from 2012 until his untimely death in late 2016.
Hans, Bernt and Filip contributed enormously to TI Partners, by virtue of their independent perspectives, wide variety of experience across industries and borders, depth of insight, clear-sighted intelligence, commitment, and warmth of personality.
We continue to be proud of the work which TI Partners has done in guiding businesses active in new markets across Europe, North America and the Middle East to grow both faster and at a lower financial cost by seeking out and working together harmoniously with partners in local markets.
Where our clients have been successful with their choice of partners, they have seen dramatic results, substantial increases in valuation, and growth of skills.
In those cases where we have not succeeded in securing long term partnerships, our clients have saved themselves a considerable amount of time and money, and have been encouraged to re-think fundamentally their expansion plans.
We have been particularly encouraged by the adoption of a new international standard, ISO 44001, for collaboration business relationship management.
Prospects for the next 5 to 10 years for our business are encouraging, particularly after the experience of COVID-19 and the challenges of fast environmental change have demonstrated the importance of combining cross-border partnering, adopting new technology, and adapting very fast to changed circumstances.
