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)
