Elements of a Fastart Program
We provide highly experienced workshop coaches and a powerful structure for moving through negotiations quickly and successfully, then putting the alliance on an action track to breakthrough performance. The full program consists of five steps:
Step 1. – Interview key personnel from each company to determine needs, constraints, vision, and internal alignment issues.
Step 2. – Internal Action Planning Workshop (1 day) for all alliance Negotiations & Operations Team members for each company to prepare for the Fastart Work Session.l
Step 3. – Executive Briefing on Alliance Strategy & Management (½ day) (Optional: we conduct an executive briefing to gain top rank support and understanding for those companies for which alliances are a new type of business)
Step 4. - Fastart Work Session (3 days) (typical format, each is custom designed)
