Business partnerships are tested quickly before being expanded

The approach to new business partnerships is to give potential collaborators the benefit of the doubt and try working together. It is described as becoming clear relatively quickly whether a collaboration will work; unsuccessful efforts are ended, while successful ones are taken further.

The strategy favors experimentation over treating every opportunity as precious, while commitment increases once the right direction is understood. A school project is cited as an example of pursuing a major undertaking despite initially knowing little about education; it is described as possibly one of the best schools in the area, if not the country.
