The Collaboration Matrix™ is a one-of-a-kind comprehensive manual and seminar on partnerships. While there are hundreds of resources on business development, licensing, IP, and negotiation, none bring together the best practices to help you identify the right partner, structure the proper deal framework, and achieve optimal outcomes. Most organizations have dedicated strategies for strategy and innovation, but rarely do they apply the same rigor to collaborations. We’re excited to deliver that missing piece for companies of all sizes who want to make collaborations a core competence

– James Iademarco, President Strategic Avalanche
