Everyone agrees that an Alliance Health Check is valuable. It highlights misalignments, offers insights for improvement, and ensures your partnership stays on track. Yet, despite this shared understanding, how often do alliance managers actually conduct one?
The reality is, Alliance Health Checks are important but rarely urgent. They sit on the to-do list, overshadowed by immediate priorities, until a problem surfaces. And by then, it may be too late.
You might assume that if everything seems fine, there’s no need to assess the alliance. But what if your partner sees things differently? I’ve seen alliances abruptly end because one partner believed the collaboration was thriving while the other was deeply dissatisfied. Without a structured Alliance Health Check, these differences go unnoticed, until they explode.
An Alliance Health Check uncovers hidden misalignments before they become major issues. It helps both partners align expectations and proactively strengthen the relationship. Think of it like personal health; neglecting small issues today can lead to costly problems down the road.
You don’t have to do this alone. An independent facilitator ensures objectivity, gathers insights from both sides, and provides clear recommendations. I can help guide this process, making it efficient and actionable for you and your partner.
Let’s make your alliance stronger, before problems arise. Schedule a call with me today to explore how an Alliance Health Check can safeguard your strategic alliances.
