Scientists increasingly find themselves working in bilateral drug development alliances. Alliances are conceptually simple, but operationally challenging, resulting in the value-eroding misalignment and delays that alliances often experience. This case study of an exemplary collaboration between a small biotech and a global biopharmaceutical company is based on 15 interviews and a lessons-learned workshop conducted with the principal alliance team members. We outline five repeatable practices identified as contributing to their success that other alliance teams can follow.
