EXPLORE →PRINCIPLES OF COLLABORATION

02 / WHAT IT COVERS
What the Principles of Collaboration establish.
Consent before connection.
Introductions and continuation should make sense to the parties involved rather than being treated as automatic.
EXPLORE →Independent responsibility.
Each professional and institution remains responsible for its own judgment, conflicts, licensing and engagement terms.
EXPLORE →Useful disagreement.
Cross-border cooperation does not require uniform views; responsible differences can improve decisions.
EXPLORE →PRACTICAL VIEW
Four rules for collaboration
Clear roles
Each person and institution should know what it is responsible for and what sits outside its role.
Respect for professional boundaries
Business, legal, tax, accounting, neutral and institutional responsibilities should not be blurred for convenience.
Useful information sharing
Share enough information to cooperate well, but protect confidential or commercially sensitive material.
No assumed outcome
An introduction, participation or collaboration does not guarantee a mandate, referral, appointment or commercial result.
COLLABORATION ACROSS DIFFERENT SYSTEMS03 / WHEN TO USE IT
When the Principles matter.
Several professions are working around one business issue.
Use the principles to preserve role clarity while maintaining continuity.
A connection is being proposed.
Clarify why it is useful and whether both sides want to proceed.
A public institutional position is being discussed.
Distinguish individual contribution from authorised institutional position.
A working group disagrees.
Record the disagreement accurately rather than manufacturing consensus.
THE IDEA
Good collaboration does not blur responsibility. It makes responsibility easier to see.
