• Plan – Determine when, how, and which alliances will yield the most strategic gain; use competitive positioning to identify a short list of high quality partners; learn how leading firms are changing the nature of competition in their respective industries!

• Negotiate – Put together deals quickly (8 weeks or less to decide if a deal is a "go" or not); spot and address red flags and deal-killers; protect intellectual assets; ensure stakeholder buy-in.

• Implement – Coordinate resources across organizations; link decision-making structures; resolve conflicts; overcome cultural disconnects (both international and organizational); manage power dynamics between large/small companies; turn around troubled alliances
