Corporate Alliance Management Lifecycle 

This workshop will examine the lifecycle of alliance management from starting up the function, building skills and capabilities, creating real value, to expanding across the enterprise, and how to move from one to the next. This workshop will help attendees see the bigger, long-term "alliance management" picture, and set the stage for the Alliance Management Congress.
