Developing Strategic Partnerships, Joint Ventures and Consortia
A five-day programme on building and running alliance structures, covering partner selection and due diligence, structuring options and legal frameworks, negotiation and risk allocation, operational management and performance monitoring, and exits, disputes and value realisation.
Introduction
Developing Strategic Partnerships, Joint Ventures and Consortia Training Course builds the strategic and structural capability that executives, business developers, and legal advisors need to build alliances that deliver. Partnerships, joint ventures, and consortia each solve a different problem. Partnerships extend reach, joint ventures combine capital and capability, and consortia win work no single party could deliver alone. Each structure also carries its own failure points: misaligned objectives, weak governance, and unclear exit rights. This course develops the discipline that prevents those failures. It covers partner selection, structure design, and negotiation. Furthermore, it applies governance, risk sharing, and performance monitoring. In addition, it develops exit, dispute resolution, and value realisation. As a result, participants build alliances that hold together.
