About this event

*Please note that this is part one of a two part programme of workshops*

There is evidence that organisations need a planned approach to partnerships, and to developing internal capabilities; many find this step a challenge. A lack of partnering skills makes it hard to develop and get value from relationships. An unplanned approach can result in partners becoming disaffected and both parties wasting resources.

Course Content:

In the workshop the following core areas will be covered

• Why use partners?

• Types of partnerships, alliances, and channels

• Developing your partnership strategy

• Your partner proposition and joint proposition

Format:

Two three hour workshop sessions with practical exercises. Attendees are expected to complete a preparatory questionnaire prior to the session.
