A partnership’s success is often determined long before the first milestone is hit. The startup phase sets the tone, the pace, and the trust level that will carry an alliance through its toughest decisions and biggest opportunities. This session digs into what it really takes to launch an alliance the right way: establishing clear operating rhythms, aligning expectations across functions, establishing ways of working, and building the early behaviors that prevent headaches down the road. 

Through practical guidance based on the recent startup of a complex alliance, we’ll explore how to stand up governance quickly, create transparent communication channels, and set measurable priorities that everyone can rally around. Attendees will walk away with a straightforward blueprint to avoid common pitfalls and build a strong foundation that allows the alliance to grow, adapt, and perform from day one.
