It's the buzzword of the 21st century. From collaboration in the boardroom, to the conference room, across industries, geographies and culture, it is indeed the leadership capability needed to build business alliances and partnerships and tackle the world's toughest challenges. From product design to the sourcing of raw materials, and across channel relationships, partnerships and alliances are interwoven across all supply and demand elements of corporate value creation. Even non-for-profits, NGO's and Public Entities seek alliances and partnerships to meet the needs of an increasingly interdependent and interconnected humanity.</p><p>In this cutting-edge work and first-ever how-to guide for building successful collaborations, Martin Echavarria, a business collaboration expert sets out to improve the success rates of strategic alliances and partnerships to become more competitive, more nimble, and more innovative.

For those of us who witnessed historic strategic alliances that fail to produce value, Enabling Collaboration is a refreshing look at the key components that must be managed for success. It's one of the best guides to both collaboration and strategic alliances that I've found for consultants, facilitators, and executive coaches who work with leaders. Business schools who teach strategic alliances will find this book a useful text. Anyone who wants more collaborative partnerships or needs to work closely with strategic partners should have a copy of this book.<br><b>Barbara Singer Cheng, CEO Executive Core</b><p>Everybody knows that alliances revolve around people, but few understand how to get people to collaborate effectively. This book fills this gap. It is the first to focus on group dynamics in alliances and provides a powerful framework to support alliance teams to achieve their joint objectives. A thoughtful and practical book, that is must-read for any alliance practitioner.</p>--Prof. dr.
