Meriplex’s Neil Medwed: “Partnering. I think that’s going to become more and more paramount. I think some companies have the tendency to “island” themselves – perhaps they don’t feel confident and comfortable enough to share their issues. That’s the beauty of peer groups. These groups allow you the access to deep knowledge, often unfiltered. If you hope to obtain any sort of maturity within your business, you have to learn to sometimes rely on others’ expertise. There’s all kinds of partnering opportunities out there.”
