The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Which strategic alliance partner should TaskFlow prioritize to enter the enterprise market, and how should the alliance be structured?
This is not a case study exercise. It is the work a consultant does when a client needs a recommendation backed by evidence. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates recite Porter's Five Forces and none who have built a recommendation a client would actually pay for.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Apply strategic alliance frameworks (e.g., alliance lifecycle, partner selection criteria)
- Design alliance governance structures including equity, revenue sharing, and IP
- Evaluate corporate parenting roles in managing alliances
- Assess risks and trade-offs in partnership strategies
