OUR PARTNERS
INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL OF PROFESSIONALS (ICOP)
BUILDING BRIDGES THROUGH STRATEGIC & INSTITUTIONAL COLLABORATION
No professional ecosystem grows in isolation.
The most meaningful professional communities are strengthened through relationships with organisations that bring together knowledge, expertise, innovation, resources, experience and networks.
The International Council of Professionals (ICOP) seeks to develop meaningful relationships with organisations and institutions that share its commitment to professional excellence, knowledge exchange, collaboration, innovation, leadership and global engagement.
Our partnership philosophy is simple:
When organisations with complementary strengths work together, they can create opportunities that neither could create alone.
WHY PARTNERSHIPS MATTER
COLLABORATION MULTIPLIES CAPABILITY
ICOP brings together professionals and organisations across disciplines and geographical boundaries.
Our partners can bring:
Institutional expertise
Professional communities
Industry knowledge
Academic resources
Research capabilities
Technology
International networks
Events
Educational programmes
Business relationships
Social-impact experience
Together, these capabilities can support initiatives that create greater value for professional communities.
PARTNERSHIP IS NOT ABOUT PUTTING TWO LOGOS TOGETHER. IT IS ABOUT PUTTING TWO SETS OF CAPABILITIES TO WORK.

MUTUAL VALUE
Both parties should have a clear understanding of the value they expect to create.
INTEGRITY
Partnerships should be consistent with ethical and professional standards.
TRANSPARENCY
Material expectations, responsibilities and commitments should be appropriately communicated.
RESPECT
Each organisation's independence, identity and responsibilities should be respected.
ACCOUNTABILITY
Roles and responsibilities should be clearly defined.
SUSTAINABILITY
Where possible, partnerships should seek to create continuing rather than merely short-term value.
PARTNERSHIP DUE DILIGENCE
TRUST SHOULD BE EARNED BEFORE IT IS SHARED
ICOP may conduct appropriate due diligence before entering into significant partnerships.
Depending upon the nature of the relationship, this may include consideration of:
Organisational identity
Reputation
Professional standing
Relevant experience
Legal status
Leadership
Areas of activity
Potential conflicts
Ethical considerations
Regulatory considerations
Brand compatibility
ICOP reserves the right to decline or discontinue a proposed relationship where appropriate.
NOT EVERY CONNECTION SHOULD BECOME A PARTNERSHIP.
PARTNERSHIP & INDEPENDENCE
An ICOP partnership does not automatically mean that ICOP endorses every activity, product, service, opinion or position of the partner.
Likewise, a partner's association with ICOP does not automatically constitute an endorsement of ICOP by that organisation beyond the specific terms of the formal relationship.
Where appropriate, partnership arrangements should clearly define:
Scope
Duration
Responsibilities
Branding
Public communications
Financial arrangements
Confidentiality
Intellectual property
Termination
Applicable legal requirements
