The AI partnership pipeline that stalls every time legal or engineering pushes back

The situation this course is for

You're leading AI-powered business development at Dropbox, where agility and cross-functional alignment are critical. But every new partnership hits the same speed bumps: legal flags IP concerns, engineering pushes back on integration scope, and sales leadership needs constant updates. You end up manually reconciling stakeholder inputs, rebuilding status decks weekly, and restarting alignment talks because context wasn't preserved. This isn't strategy , it's operational churn, and it's slowing down every deal.

Who this is for

Senior Business Development professionals driving AI or technical partnerships in high-growth SaaS or cloud infrastructure environments, with cross-functional execution pressure and scaling ambitions

Who this is not for

Entry-level sales development reps, standalone account executives without technical integration scope, or practitioners focused solely on non-AI product partnerships

What you walk away with

  • Deploy a standardized AI partnership intake framework that reduces initial scoping from 3 weeks to 3 days
  • Automate stakeholder alignment tracking to eliminate weekly status deck rework
  • Implement a cross-functional handoff playbook that cuts legal and engineering review cycles by 40%
  • Scale AI GTM motion across 5+ concurrent partnerships without adding headcount
  • Preserve institutional knowledge across renewals and team transitions using embedded documentation patterns
