Peter Simoons

When we talk about alliances, we tend to focus on the external component: collaborating with other organisations. By itself that is correct, after all alliances are collaborations between two or more organisations to accomplish a goal that one of the organisations cannot achieve on its own. So we do need external parties! However, alliances have a strong internal component as well and that is about internal collaboration, or in broader terms, it’s very much also about a company’s culture. .

10 wishes for International Women’s Day

Stellar Partnerships

I like pink. Some of my favourite clothes are pink. But when I opened Shutterstock to search for International Women’s Day pictures there was a sea of pink with flowers and hearts.

Partner Assessment (or will you just make it work?)

Peter Simoons

In a conversation with an alliance executive from a pharma company recently, the exec said to me “ We don’t do partner assessment, we’ll just make it work ”. His motivation for this remark was that he couldn’t afford to disqualify a partner if some of their skills were a good fit. Sometimes a partner has that unique element that the respective alliance needs and so they just need to try and make the partnership work.
