The next step
Alfred Griffioen is exploring new models for collaboration
Alfred is currently conducting PhD research at Radboud University Medical Center into collaborative business models for prevention in healthcare.
Over time, this website will grow into a knowledge base around that work: how organisations can create, distribute and sustain shared value when prevention depends on collaboration.
Open access book
Creating Profit Through Alliances
Alfred’s English-language book explains how alliances accelerate strategy, create additional value and use ten different business models to distribute that value between partners.
It includes practical cases from companies such as Philips, KLM, SAP and Capgemini, along with guidance on the legal structure of collaboration.
