In this T3 Zoom Café, we discuss what we look for in a global partner. We follow that up with: what makes you a good global partner for them?!? We dig into how a residual colonial mindset has impacted our partners…and us. We explore one of the colonial legacies: the patrón system where the patrón provides resources, protection and other benefits while the client provides service, labor, loyalty and political support. Are we part of a patrón system? Is that OK? If not, how do we move beyond that?
