Global Partnership Strategies (GPS) reflects a simple idea: the most important relationships in the world are built not only through governments, but through people.

GPS focuses on building bridges

The challenges facing the international system today — from geopolitical competition to economic transformation — require new forms of cooperation that connect public and private leaders across borders. This is the intersection where building bridges is essential.

Through convening, advising, and thought leadership, GPS helps organizations and leaders navigate complex international relationships by combining three core principles:

Relationships first

Trust and human networks are the foundation of successful diplomacy and business.

Culture Matters

Understanding the cultural context behind decisions unlocks opportunities that policy alone cannot.

Partnership over rivalry

The strongest alliances emerge from shared purpose and mutual respect.

At a moment of global uncertainty, GPS seeks to elevate the importance of international collaboration, particularly in strengthening ties between the United States, Japan, and the broader Indo-Pacific region.
