Case Title
Structured Alliance: A Business Consortium for a Tricontinental Project
1. Scenario
- Client Archetype: Group of complementary companies.
- Sector: Technology / Infrastructure.
- Operation Vector: Europe + LATAM (Joint project).
2. The Strategic Challenge
Four companies from three different countries (Spain, Colombia and Brazil) wanted to join forces to bid together for a large technology infrastructure project. They needed to structure a consortium that defined roles, responsibilities and the sharing of risks and benefits, and that would be credible to the end client as a cohesive entity.
3. The META Channel Solution Architecture
The Entrepreneurship dimension of the ORBITAL PACT was activated to structure the business consortium. The appropriate collaboration vehicle was designed, the consortium agreement was drawn up with all the necessary operational and governance terms, and joint institutional documentation was prepared in order to present to the client as a single, solid proposal.
4. Ecosystem Orchestration: Layers in Action
Layer 5 (Substantive Legal), led by META Channel, designed the consortium agreement and the terms of collaboration between the four companies. Layer 2 (Reference Partners) coordinated legal teams across the three jurisdictions involved to adapt the structure, while Layer 4 (Technological) implemented a shared project management platform to coordinate the joint work.
