    • Assess Long-Term Value: Consider the long-term benefits of the partnership, such as enhanced capabilities or strategic advantages that may not be immediately quantifiable.

    5. Review Resource Allocation

    • Assess Resource Utilization: Evaluate whether the resources (time, money, personnel) invested in the partnership are yielding the expected returns.
    • Cost-Benefit Analysis: Conduct a cost-benefit analysis to ensure that the partnership is providing value relative to the resources spent.

    6. Provide Actionable Insights

    • Feedback to Partners: Share evaluation results with partners to ensure transparency and foster collaboration for continuous improvement.
