This can lead to differences in decision taking with some, for example, able to take decisions quickly while others need time for consultation within their organisations. Most important of all, they are genuinely collaborative, with no one partner in control. Persuading your partners to perform can be a major challenge. Each partner has its own priorities, which can divert resource from the collaborative effort.
Delays can quickly spread through the project, disrupting the work of all partners.
