Service Providers

Service Providers are CAAM credentialed consultants and instructors that provide services and education on a custom basis. They must have a history of an Alliance Practice for at least 3 years and offer training or preparation content that can be shown to be substantially in alignment with the Detailed Content Outline.

Phoenix Consulting Group has developed an Alliance Management Skills Mastery and Certification Prep Course. This workshop focuses experiential learning and team problem solving within the context of case study scenarios, simulating the situations alliance managers face everyday. Scenarios reflect the competencies that are specified in the CAAM Detailed Content Outline.  Attendees will assess their skills and knowledge as specified by the CAAM competency model, take away tools and best practices in alliance management and gain confidence in their readiness to successfully complete the exam.  For more information: www.phoenixcg.com
