Dealing with the "Incompleteness" of Co-Development Agreements: Everything You Wished You Decided
Up-front, But Didn't

Benjamin Gomes Casseres Live audio-session with
Ben Gomes-Casseres
[BIO]
Professor, Brandeis University
and author, Mastering Alliance Strategy

Most co-development agreements or JDAs spell out financial terms, strategic objectives, and legal considerations. But once the partnership is underway and you're immersed in the project, you discover that no agreement can fully anticipate questions and hurdles that inevitably arise.

This audio-session will provide you with a framework to manage unforeseen events such as changes in the market and/or technologies, project uncertainties, difficulty measuring inputs and outputs, and more.

By participating in this session, you will learn techniques and strategies to successfully manage the "open-endedness" common to many partnerships. The session will be a 60-minute presentation with 30 minutes interactive Q&A.

Mastering Alliance Strategy FREE BOOK! The first 20 registrants will receive a free copy of Ben’s highly regarded new book Mastering Alliance Strategy: A Comprehensive Guide to Design, Management, and Organization, with James Bamford and Michael Robinson (a $45 Value). Sorry, all of the books from this promotion are now spoken for.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to bring your own experiences (and questions) into the discussion and receive expert feedback. The session will be a 60-minute presentation with 30 minutes interactive Q&A.

Invite your whole team to join you - the fee is the same as long as it's on one phone line, just put it on speakerphone!
