We’re launching a video series: Partnering on the Edge: The Hard Work of Partnering Well. As part of our deep and long-standing engagement with ASAP, it will be made available to the ASAP community as sponsored content as well as on our YouTube channel and https://www.rhythmofbusiness.com/partnering-on-the-edge.

We’ve seen a dramatic shift in how value is created in biopharma. Companies no longer operate as self‑contained value systems. They function as nodes in distributed networks. Biopharma has entered a new era. Partnering isn’t an activity. It’s the operating model. It’s how business is done and value created.

Partnering is conceptually simple and operationally challenging.

Episode Highlights

Each episode is short, practical, and grounded in a real‑world co‑development scenario. Topics covered include:

• Why partnering is the operating model and the implications for alliance managers
• The Alliance Execution Effectiveness Model™ and the six execution effectiveness conditions that are the focus of leading alliance professional’s attention (or should be)
• The risk-to-conflict Alliance Challenge Continuum
• Collaboration as a strategic purposeful way of working, not a value or a skill
• The power of positive influence – the secret sauce of collaboration – based on the social construct of the norm of reciprocity
• Bridging inevitable strategic misalignment
• Alliance management as an organizational execution capability

This series is for alliance professionals, cross-functional leaders, and executives who must deliver results across organizational boundaries – and who recognize partnering well is now a strategic imperative.
