Watch the video and learn how Paul Taylor, Head of Strategic Alliances at KONE benefitted of the Alliance Masterclass we facilitated for his team.
60% of CEOs recognise Alliances and Partnerships as a path to strategic growth, yet their typical failure rate is over 50%.
Holding an In-Company Alliance Masterclass Program in your business will help you to increase your success rate to over 80%!
The In-company Alliance Masterclass focuses on learning to apply the skills and tools that will help you to create and manage healthy alliances and partnerships, with increased results.
This is a highly effective way of forging and motivating alliance partnerships.
The Masterclass is a thorough session that spends time reviewing concepts and models related to alliance management. It also spends time discussing cross-industry case scenarios.
The aim is to keep the Masterclass as practical as possible. This way the learnings can be applied to the participant’s work almost immediately. We also aim to integrate discussion of the participant’s alliances, wherever possible.
As masterclass students, your team gets instant access to all the tools and methods they need to win complete control of your partner relationships, and overcome all your major alliance and partnership challenges.
Key benefits from holding an Alliance Masterclass in your business include:
- Your team will become stellar Alliance professionals and be able to skilfully drive your important Alliances & Partnerships opportunities.
- Your team will be able to increase your alliance & partnership success and help accelerate the growth and innovation opportunities for your company, demonstrating strong value for your organisation.
- “Alliances & Partnerships is the new leadership” and by attending the Alliance Masterclass your team will gain new leadership skills to use throughout your business.
A Typical In-Company Alliance Masterclass Outline
Throughout the day, we will discuss tools, best practices, culture and behaviour (the latter being the so-called “soft elements” of alliances).
This will enable your team to apply their learnings directly to their work in managing partners for immediate improvement in alliance performance.
Additionally, the class delivers the following:
- Promotes experiential learning by focusing on the application of skills and knowledge in case scenario class exercises
- Provides a common vocabulary and glossary of terms as commonly used in the profession
- Integrates your experience into the course through discussion and application of Masterclass learnings
This outline covers the full alliance lifecycle.
It allows ample room for extensive discussion to delve deeper into the topics that are relevant to the participants.
Interactive And Problem Solving
We designed this Masterclass as an interactive format, so that participants apply best practices and principles to their own alliance management situations.
That way they choose the best course of action when solving a difficult situation.
Its focus is very much on team problem solving, within the context of case study scenarios, stimulating the situations that alliance managers face every day and challenging participants to apply their knowledge to those situations.
Tools Provided
- Scenarios – We built the course around experiential scenario learning. We will review concepts and tools. Much of the learning comes from interaction with your teammates in solving issues presented in these scenarios. Scenarios represent multiple industry examples, but the learnings can be applied across all industries and alliance types.
- Worksheets and Templates – Many tools are provided within the context of the Masterclass’ materials.
