P.I.D. Alliance Management Workshop
Like a long sailing voyage, keeping an alliance on track is challenging. “Winds” and “currents” buffet your collaboration. It’s not uncommon for two “ships” to bump together (accidentally, or on purpose!).
Engineers use a framework to describe the control of complex processes, like sailing. It’s called P-I-D, or Proportional-Integral-Derivative Control. But don’t be put off by the name. In practice P-I-D Control neatly describes the actions necessary to keep a sailboat, or an alliance on course toward its destination.
