Rethinking Alliances: Exploiting Turbulence - March 24th, Easton, PA March 24, 2009

---

Are your company's alliances at risk as
markets become more challenging? Is Alliance Management becoming an
overhead expense that needs to be trimmed? Are partnering skeptics
highlighting the shortcomings of working with partners in order to
deflect attention away from their budgets?
Successful
companies rely on their alliances to see them through difficult times;
they view alliance management as a key competency that provides a
distinctive advantage over competitors. Leading companies have used
turbulent times to increase their alliance advantage: as employees
become more open to change and partners become more focused on
generating results.

Organized by Professional Partnering Services, LLC
We are Alliance Managers. We've had the privilege of working in, and leading, alliance organizations for some of the largest companies in the world and for more modest sized companies. We have lived the reality of striking a delicate balancing between developing the organization's overall partnering skills, with the immediate need to sign up new partners, resolve conflicts, and deliver results. But the urgent wins over the important. We found ourselves wishing we had someone to help with these foundational activities while we were busy with the day-to-day challenges of managing our partnerships. We needed a partnering partner.So we created Professional Partnering Services, LLC to be that partnering partner. We're not consultants; we don't second-guess, or make extravagant recommendations to management and walk away. We work with, together, and as a part of our clients' alliance teams.
