ALLIANCE uses independent facilitation to evaluate your collaborative relationship and act towards an agreed desired state. The process is flexible and adaptable to address strategic, organisational, tactical, operational, behavioural and process issues in any collaborative relationship.
A typical ALLIANCE process follows 4 basic steps:
Programme Content
Module 1- Collaborative Governance
Successful partnerships depend on a robust governance model that is known and understood by all. Here the key is to secure a strategic alignment between parties and to define the most efficient delivery organisation.
Our Governance module enables you to:
- Discuss and agree the partnership mission and objectives
- Define the decision- making process and associated communication flow (i.e. escalation and cascading)
- Clarify roles and responsibilities of both organisations counterparts
Module 2 - Working Dynamics
Efficient collaborative organisations rely on working dynamics that are based on trust, allowing issues to be discussed in an open and constructive environment.
Our working dynamics module enables you to:
- Define ways to address problem notification and resolution
- Develop trust and shared understanding
- Discuss engagement and responsiveness
- Manage lessons learned and best practices
Module 3 - Performance Management
Efficiency and effectiveness of a collaborative relationship is measured by its capacity to deliver business objectives in a satisfactorily manner.
Our performance management module focuses on:
- Performance Measurements
- Operating Controls
- Performance Improvements
Module 4 - Processes and Management Systems
Defining new processes or sharing existing ones can be a daunting endeavour, even under ideal conditions. In the frame of collaborative organisations it is key to be aligned on the processes that regulate the relationship with a specific focus on creating value.
- Product Development
- Change Management
- Process Improvement
- Innovation
