Gain competitive advantage through collaboration
The ability to collaborate is becoming an important source of competitive advantage in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, an era of rapid and disruptive change. This is why all companies, no matter their size, need to know how to create an effective collaboration strategy. INSEAD’s Managing Partnerships and Strategic Alliances is an intensive five-day programme that equips managers with the concepts and tools to help them achieve just that.
Through lectures, discussions, cases studies and analysis of best practices by some of the world’s most successful companies, participants gain a better understanding of the strategic purpose and value of partnerships and alliances.

Upcoming Event
In today’s increasingly interconnected and volatile business world, forming strategic alliances is key to driving innovation, accessing new markets, and managing risk. INSEAD invites you to join our thought leadership webinar, part of the open executive education series, to explore how to unlock the full potential of partnerships for strategic success.
Led by Andrew Shipilov, Professor of Strategy and Programme Co-Director at INSEAD, this interactive session will guide you through the critical role that alliances play in navigating complexity and fostering growth. You’ll discover how to leverage the Ecosystem Canvas Framework to manage multi-partner ecosystems, visualizing interconnected networks of companies and making better-informed decisions.
Bart De Roover, Adjunct Professor of Strategy at INSEAD, will share insights from real-world case studies, including the LEGO Group’s Alliance Ecosystem, demonstrating how successful partnerships fuel business success. You’ll also hear from Teo Kai Siang, Director of International Strategy at Collins Aerospace, on maintaining flexibility and alignment in alliances.
This session offers a unique opportunity for senior executives to ask questions, engage with top experts, and gain practical strategies for achieving success through partnerships.

I am convinced that the traditional supplier–customer relationship in industrial marketing and sales will change over the coming years. Companies need to develop partnerships to share costs and knowledge, and speed up the pace of innovation. This course will gain increasing relevance for people in a managerial role in B2B markets.
