The value proposition is where an alliance starts. An alliance value proposition is the promise of measurable benefit resulting from an alliance. It is generally defined with three parties in mind.

If you know me well, then you’d know that my natural tendency is to just get on with things, aka wing it. Not because I’m lazy, but I’m just trying to squeeze too much into the day. Sound familiar? It’s a constant battle being a doer who just gets on with things. As a busy partnership manager time is against you. It’s often easier to wing things whilst you balance the quantity and quality of the work you are creating.
