About the MSAPLS Program
Alliances are easy to sign and hard to run. The program covers partner selection, deal structure, governance, joint value creation, and the discipline of reviewing and exiting partnerships. Participants work on live or planned alliances throughout. Delivered in-house at the client's premises or live virtual, it gives executive teams a common approach to choosing partners, agreeing how the relationship will be governed, and protecting value once the agreement is signed.

- Evaluate potential partners against clear strategic criteria
- Design alliance structures that fit the objective
- Build governance that keeps partners aligned
