Projects

Winning partnerships A pipeline company engaged Open Options to work through a combination of market opportunities and potential partnerships. By strategically proposing an alliance with their second favorite producer, the pipeline company was able to attract their preferred (but reluctant) producer into a partnership.

Laying the groundwork Two large technology companies interested in entering into an IP licensing alliance came to Open Options to lay the groundwork for the upcoming negotiations surrounding the joint venture.

Meeting agreements Under threat of litigation, a natural resource company was concerned about production being delayed. Open Options created a strategic plan to convince skeptical partners and to break the stalemate in order to meet the group marketing agreement, while satisfying individual partner ambitions.

Overcoming competing interests A natural resource company, facing competing interests from regulators and project partners, came to Open Options to develop a strategy to move the multi-billion dollar project forward on time. Open Options delivered a successful outcome.

Collaborating in the market A divided management team came to Open Options asking for a clear action plan on how to best proceed with a development that had four important partners – all competitors on other projects. The management team rallied around the developed action plan and billions of dollars of long term sales were booked.

Working jointly Two large natural resource companies with expertise in different fields wished to cooperate on a joint venture in a foreign country. Open Options advised how to address the key personalities in the foreign country, share risk equitably between partners and decide the best path forward for long-term profitability.
