Course description
The ability to collaborate is becoming an important source of competitive advantage in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, an era of rapid and disruptive change. In the race to develop compelling user experiences, expand distribution and capture new sources of value, leaders are discovering that success depends not just on what their own companies can do, but also on the capabilities they can leverage by partnering with others.
This is why all companies, no matter their size, need to know how to create an effective collaboration strategy. INSEAD’sManaging Partnerships and Strategic Alliancesis an intensive five-day programme that equips managers with the concepts and tools to help them achieve just that.
Through lectures, discussions, cases studies and analysis of best practices by some of the world’s most successful companies, participants gain a better understanding of the strategic purpose and value of partnerships and alliances. They also gain the tools and frameworks to develop an effective ecosystem strategy and collaborate within platform business models to create long-term value for their organisation.
