Partnership
One of the critical elements of transforming the way
Coventry operates is its partnerships with leading
organisations. Latham says, “We want partners who share
our vision, where we have intimacy between people on
both sides, who are able to talk to each other about what
they are doing so there is mutual benefit.”

Joanne Dobson, Coventry University’s Programmes
Director for the Corporate Partnership Unit, says, “One of our shining star relationships is the one
that we have with Cisco. We can bounce ideas off each other, helping Coventry apply technology in
innovative ways, and helping Cisco improve its engagement in the higher education sector.”

Dobson adds, “Early on Cisco committed to a number of activities that were not income generating.
For instance, we have an open door to Cisco and can go to Cisco and learn from its highly skilled
and knowledgeable people. But Cisco also introduces us to other Universities where Cisco
technology and emerging business practices are helping to drive change. There is no guarantee of
money or an instant order, but Cisco is still willing to step up and invest time and effort in our vision.
That’s why we value a partner like Cisco.”

Both organisations communicate at all levels, including senior management, and are jointly involved
in outward-facing projects. For example, both Coventry and Cisco are involved in a regional
development agency funded initiative to raise awareness about wireless technology within small
businesses. Cisco has helped build a Unified Communications centre – using a Cisco Unified
Communications system – on the Coventry Campus as a showcase for communication innovation.
Coventry and Cisco have cooperated on other projects as well that have resulted in winning new
business for both organisations.
