Partnership for Sustained and Sustainable Growth
Working Dynamics
The partnership brings together groups of 6 to 20 Brazilian or international companies that do not compete among themselves within the productive chain.
It is aimed at the main execut ive who will lead the company to a new lev el of sustainable growth.
To allow it to achieve the expected results, the partnership proposes to last for five years, and contracts will be renewed yearly based on the following pillars:
• PEC - Business Growth Project
This is the partnership’s main pillar and the tool that will identify the new business platforms that will make the organization’s growth cycles possible, as well as helping the company to understand how such an option reflects on its stakeholders. It is preceded by economic/financial, market, risks and sustainability diagnoses.
The project is prepared jointly by FDC and its partner companies and developed individually with each company by melding theory to the organization’s day-to-day routine so that the best growth strategy can be chosen, as well as the best way to achieve it.
• The Sponsors’ Committee
It is made up by local and international professors, managers and executives from the FDC community from the fields of Market, Finance, People and Sustainability. This group will sponsor the main executive from the partner company.
Its role will be to validate management models as well as to offer conceptual and referential knowledge and shared knowledge.
The Sponsors’ Committee will meet six times per year with the president of the partner company and it will be made up by professionals who do not work for companies that compete with the partner organizations within the productive chain, and there will be a specific confidentiality contract.
• Cooperation and Exchange
This pillar is based on FDC’s accumulated experience that proves how efficient learning is when it is based on an exchange of experiences among companies.
The presidents’ committee: four annual meeting on themes related to sustained and sustainable growth with professors, entrepreneurs, domestically and internationally renowned executives, where companies share experiences.
• Business Logic
An annual structured visit, either domestic or international, to benchmark with other companies, business schools, reference centers, fairs or financial institutions to understand the logic of their businesses and their sustainable practices. These visits will be organized by the technical coordinator for each ongoing group.
• Monitoring the Implementation of the Business Growth Projects
Mentoring by an FDC professor while carrying out the projects and cooperating with their peers on the difficulties and the successes, innovation, etc.
• Meeting to Assess Results
Six results assessments focused on the short-term economic/financial and sustainability pillars of the Business Growth Project.
