Developing Strategic Partnerships, Joint Ventures, and Consortia

Introduction

This training program focuses on how to proactively promote all of the key components for each Strategic Partnership [SP], Joint Venture [JV], or Consortium – including conducting a formal situation review of each potential opportunity and developing a detailed fulfillment plan.
Firms/organizations require time, talent, and capital to promote new functional capabilities in order to remain competitive.
Access to these resources can be managed through an SP, JV, or Consortium with those who already have these critical functions.
Examine the comprehensive improvement and analysis process flow and apply it to multiple firms in various managing industries at the same time. Then, for your company/organization, do the same thing while promoting a specific proactive rubric to screen and propose potential allies, negotiate key contractual terms, lead the execution/launch, and monitor-assess an SP, JV, or Consortium.

This training program will highlight:

• Important mapping of external divisions, industries, markets, and sections
• Evaluating your firm’s functional abilities alongside strategic requirements and offerings
• Advantages and costs between 1) strategic partnerships, 2) joint ventures, and 3) consortia
• How to propose another firm? How to respond if requested by another firm?
• Analyzing case examples of successful and poorly structured-executed connections
• Organization projects to improve an alliance plan for your firm /organization
