5 ways to end a strategic alliance

Once you identify that one or more of your strategic alliances is going nowhere, here are some ideas to end your strategic alliance:

1. Have an open and honest discussion about the current situation with all the allies

2. Clarify the WHY? – what are we doing this? and the WHAT? what do we want to achieve for each individual?

3. Make a clean break – with no loose threads

4. Finish/close the alliance amicably and regroup with a different or revised line up of players

5. Remember the “project” concept and the time frame recommendation. This alliances may have served it’s purpose and its time to finish it.
