OUR VISION

The Alliance Best Practice Vision

"Standing on the shoulders of giants"

Alliance Best Practice Ltd (ABP) was founded on a simple idea. That best practices in alliances exist and that by following a best practice approach companies will achieve more progress more quickly and with less risk than by following a non best practice approach. That vision remains as true today as it did in 2002 when we founded the company.

We implement that vision in a simple 5 step process as follows

1

Identify challenges with ABP members.

2

Check that the problem is a common one.

3

If it is, research solutions to the problem (Success Factors)

4

5

Collate all Success Factors and identify Common Success Factors (CSFs)

Document CSFs for member use.
