They Said It
“The influence that David Thompson and his team have had on the partnering profession has cut across industries, permeating the thinking and conversation surrounding nearly every alliance-related topic. Alliances, as David has often said, are not by nature necessarily efficient, but they can certainly be effective—if they’re managed skillfully, thoughtfully, and proactively. Creating Alliance Value, written by David and his coauthors, Kim Koch and Lisa Keough, will help you to do just that.” —Michael Leonetti, CSAP President and CEO, Association of Strategic Alliance Professionals (ASAP)
