By bringing competitors together, domestic and international associations can change the world. But they need efficient management and the right processes, which is where Alliances Management comes in.
Whether seeking to establish best practices throughout an industry, write interoperable specifications, or safeguard stakeholder rights, associations bring diverse constituencies together to accomplish a common goal.
Success requires clearly defined bylaws, a mission supported throughout an industry, and an operating model that makes the most of specialized talent that is oftentimes spread throughout the world.
We manage core operational functions for domestic and international associations. From minute-taking and meeting planning, to financial analysis and certification management, we establish clear processes, execute Board-defined strategy, and ensure that all relevant stakeholders have the information and tools they need.
By making use of cloud-hosted collaboration tools and having staff on three continents, we are available to our clients where and when they need us. Our experts develop a deep understanding of our clients’ businesses, enabling them not only to manage day-to-day operations, but also to make ongoing improvements.
Alliances Management’s clients spend more time focusing on business strategy while leaving the details to us. Our clients’ Boards of Directors are experts in their fields, and when they focus on specification or product roadmaps instead of day-to-day operations, their associations achieve both their short- and long-term objectives.
From creation of bylaws and defining an association’s operating model, we leverage our decades of experience to help new associations form and existing associations create new programs.
Properly supporting an association’s Board means more than agenda development and meeting facilitation. It means making sure that key stakeholders have all the information they need to make decisions.
Whether attesting a product’s adherence to a technical specification or comparing policy manuals against industry best practices, certification and compliance management require clarity, rigor, and dependability.
Associations need management of member websites, but that’s not all. Implementing a new certification database or test script can help to launch a new program or initiative and make it successful.
Associations that write technical specifications or whitepapers to explain best practices require experts that not only write clearly, but also understand proper industry formatting for the document in question.
Handling accounts payable and accounts receivable help to ensure stable operations; detailed financial analysis, on the other hand, can be a tool that enables an association to go to the next level.
Details matter, whether at an onsite interoperability event or a webinar to announce a new initiative. We manage meetings and events from San Francisco to Tokyo, London to Sydney, and everywhere in between.
We develop new member participation programs, design communication initiatives, and implement new mechanisms for association feedback and influence.

Alliances Management has been an accredited Association Management Company (AMC) since 2011, when we were the first AMC to complete a virtual accreditation audit. We are proud to have remained in good standing with the AMC Institute ever since.
