X-BORDER COLLABORATION

A WORLD OF CONNECTED NATIONS

Global Value Chains extend across the world,  linking markets and communities in production, consumption and livelihoods 

The rise of global value chains continues, with regional ebbs and flows in response to adjustments in trade policies

Natural, Business and Knowledge Ecosystems Connect the World

 

Climate knows no borders and pandemics are restrained only partially through border controls.

Digitalization over expanding communications infrastructure provides access to global goods and services.

Since the earliest maritime capability,  global arbitrage has been a driver of profitability for business and of convenience as well as purchasing power for consumers. Global collaboration brings greater prosperity.

The need for global collaboration is pressing in terms of challenge as well as opportunity. The COVID-19 pandemic provides a stark reminder, as does on an increasingly conspicuous level and with far greater consequence, Climate Change. 

Equity and Inclusivity are Imperatives for Sustainable Collaboration

Globalization takes on positive imaging as well as momentum when demonstrably inclusive of local and regional interests as well as identities.

 The established even if dynamic pyramid of governance models defining rights and responsibilities from  local governments to state and federal/national levels may extend with similar trust and acceptance beyond national borders to international programs and allocations that appear inclusive and equitable across their membership.

Trade policies, the facilitating frameworks underlying global trade and value chains , are a reflection of such considerations, exerting significant influence on manufacturing flows even as digital flows largely maintain independence.

Stanwork’s World of Opportunity Across Borders

These considerations powered the early development and positioning of the Stanwork Group. Stanwork and its principals have been involved in the identification, advocacy and  development of arbitrage opportunities for twenty years now, over longer careers in digitalization, organizational transformation, business and corporate development, trust and advisory services, education, and healthcare.
