SUMMARY:WBEC ORV | Navigating Strategic Partnerships & Joint Ventures

This dynamic workshop is designed for business owners and leaders ready to expand their scale\, scope\, and capacity through intentional collaboration. \nParticipants will gain clarity on what a strategic alliance is and how it differs from a joint venture or traditional partnership.
