What participants experienced:

“the canvas, and process developed and presented are really useful (and simple). I would like to contribute to make this a go-to resource for others. And this resource’s value will grow with more such workshops.”-Luzi Schucan, Product, and Partnership Manager Haufe Group  

“The design and guidance on the partnership canvas was extremely insightful. Especially when the exercise is performed with both potential partners at the same time. It gives clarity and ensures alignment on ones motivation and expected value.”– Willem Schellekens, Co-founder of the ING Innovation Studio

“The world is chainging at an ever faster pace. You have to stop thinking that you can keep up with all those evolutions by yourself. Clever, strategic and structural partnerships will become crucial for staying competitive in a sustainable way. Good news: there is a tool which will help you find the right partners, and helps you design a long term win-win-win relationship with chosen strategic partners.”– Paul Peeters, Lead expert at Agoria.be

The Partnership Canvas is the product of a multi-year collaboration between Bart Doorneweert (Tool Monk) and Ernst Houdkamp (Scherper Stellen). This is your opportunity to learn from the people that brought the partnership canvas to the world!
