Simplifying Strategic Alliances

Traditional Keynote
Ed removes the mystery. You need and want to develop strategic alliances - your organization's future depends on it. But, where do you find partners? How do you successfully structure and implement your alliance? How do you keep your alliance alive, healthy and thriving? Learn from a national expert on strategic alliance relationships. These, and many more, are the questions that Ed Rigsbee answers in his keynote. Ed's style is engaging yet challenging, drills down to the core of relationship issues - he makes people think, laugh and sometimes even cry. While Ed is no plain-wrap speaker, meeting stakeholders can be assured that he will deliver the goods!
