In today’s hypercompetitive business world, forming and leading strategic partnerships with complementary organizations is a key to significant growth, regardless of a company’s size or industry. Knowing how to architect, negotiate, and lead successful partnerships has become the difference between success and failure for many organizations. According to a recent KPMG study, 38% of CEOs claim their #1 strategy for growth is through strategic partnerships, but 70% of these partnerships are deemed a failure within 2 years (Gartner, McKinsey).
What does this mean to you? There is a right way and a wrong way to execute and manage strategic partnerships. The Strategic Partner Leadership Professional®️ (SPLP®️) certification validates your knowledge to lead partnerships to success.
