Platform

SummitNorth is a convener. A platform company.

In key moments of an organization’s lifecycle, conveners and platform companies represent the best of all worlds, gaining access to the precise support required and tapping into a professional and business world that increasingly embrace the future of work and organizational design - virtual, flexible, situational. This is why the dramatic rise and elevation of strategic partnerships, ecosystems and alliances has become so prevalent globally in recent years.

A prerequisite for being a team member is being a team player. SummitNorth draws upon our collective global network of the best-in-class subject matter experts, industry leaders and relationship holders who have a track record of getting things done. Our experience has revealed that regardless of size, rarely does one organization possess the optimal capabilities, industry expertise and leadership experience in each area required to undertake and complete the journey at the highest levels of distinction.

We do the hard work up front to ensure that interests and outcomes are aligned and there is collective understanding and commitment to a roadmap for success.
The company leadership/founders are empowered, and enabled, to unlock value, and achieve the intended goals.
Our team provides guidance, advice, support and, where appropriate, assists in navigation from within.
Company leadership remains out front and is empowered in an uninterrupted manner.
Two-way dialogue and iteration are hallmarks of our approach. Team composition and emphasis     remains nimble and adaptive.

By design, our success is entirely defined by the success and outcome of the subject organization. We are not building a static organization, or a company in its own right, whose interests could ever supersede the purpose or task at hand.
