What does “alliance governance” mean to you? It seeks to create a climate of equity and collaboration by guiding the design of mutually productive policies, structures and processes. It sets the tone from the top (by leaders) to create alignment by defining, monitoring and adapting principles and policies to alliance stakeholders' motivators ("strategic intent" and external forces) and risk/return preferences for preserving equity beyond the narrow scope of previously established contracts (future ≠ past). It creates an environment within which the alliance can flourish to the benefit of key stakeholders. It "memorializes" the tone from the top (by senior leaders) with parameters that guide management decision-making. It is especially valuable in large/complex alliances. It helps to identify and create new possibilities and (re)define the rules of the game for the alliance. It is a "pact", a process for cultivating a "relationship" and "cadence“. It enables trust, but where control is required (if trust is undesirable or impractical) governance may not be appropriate - however, alliance governance must also deal with a broader set of functional business performance considerations. It helps to enable trust between alliance stakeholders in order to improve mutual performance.
Alliance Governance Defined Alliance “An alliance is an agreement between two or more parties, made in order to advance common goals and to secure common interests.” – Wikipedia Corporate Governance “Procedures and processes according to which an organisation is directed and controlled. The corporate governance structure specifies the distribution of rights and responsibilities among the different participants in the organisation – such as the board, managers, shareholders and other stakeholders – and lays down the rules and procedures for decision-making.” - OECD Alliance Governance Procedures and processes according to which an alliance is directed and controlled. The alliance governance structure specifies the distribution of rights and responsibilities among the different participants in the alliance – such as the boards, managers, shareholders and other stakeholders – and lays down the rules and procedures for decision-making.
