Even experienced leaders struggle to scale partnerships beyond pilot stages due to misaligned incentives, unclear governance, and fragmented metrics.

The situation this course is for

Senior leaders often inherit partnership initiatives with high expectations but low operational clarity. Without a structured approach, even promising collaborations stall, draining time, resources, and credibility. The gap isn't intent; it's implementation.

Who this is for

A senior leader in business or technology, product, strategy, operations, or IT, who leads or influences cross-organizational partnerships. They need repeatable methods to design, launch, and scale collaborations with measurable outcomes.

Who this is not for

Individual contributors not involved in partnership design, junior managers without decision authority, or consultants without access to internal stakeholder alignment processes.

What you walk away with

  • Design partnerships with built-in scalability and exit criteria
  • Establish governance models that balance speed and control
  • Track value creation using leading and lagging indicators
  • Anticipate and manage interdependence risks before escalation
  • Align incentives across disparate teams and organizations
