Project management continues to be a key strategy in helping alliances stay on track and has been employed in rescuing others from the brink of collapse. While many of you who responded to CHI’s 2010 global alliance management survey expressed your understanding of this concept, you also expressed concern about not knowing how to use project management to drive high performing alliances. We will explore this issue and ways to effectively integrate project management and alliance management.
