The Strategic Partnership & Alliance Workshop

Should you build

About this session

Senior leadership teams often stall when deciding whether to build internal capabilities or pursue a strategic alliance, leading to missed market opportunities. This session moves the group from speculative discussion to a rigorous evaluation of a specific partnership's viability. You will end the hour with a documented decision and a clear understanding of the resource trade-offs required to make the alliance work.

Why it works

The structure works by isolating the strategic drivers of a partnership from the emotional or political pressure to simply close a deal. By forcing leaders to weigh specific criteria against their existing roadmap, it surfaces misalignments early and ensures that any resulting commitment has genuine executive buy-in.

What you’ll walk away with

  • Clear actionable outcomes from a 3-step facilitated process
  • Increased participant engagement and buy-in
  • Documented decisions and next steps
  • Improved team alignment on the topic

Who it’s for
