Principles of Structured Collaboration

For Team Members

1-day online course, with screen breaks and lunch, delivered by an expert tutor

Provides a full understanding of the application of collaborative principles

An in-depth learning approach to gain a comprehensive understanding of internationally recognised collaborative principles and their application, ensuring an effective basis for collaboration. As well as being a further step in building an individual’s knowledge, it is also suitable for people that work in collaborations and teams, but it is not their role to take a lead in or coordinate the direct management of relationships. It provides the awareness and knowledge required to establish, build and gain the best from collaborative business relationships.

How will you benefit?

This course will benefit you by providing practical explanation and learning, so you:

  • Gain an appreciation of the concepts of collaborative business relationships and how a structured framework and ISO 44000 principles can be applied.
  • Further develop and enhance your collaborative working competency.
  • Understand the different collaboration management structures.
  • Appreciate collaboration aims, benefits and objectives – the Golden Thread of Alignment.
  • Gain an understanding of the opportunities, risk and benefits of collaborative working.

  • How adopting a structured approach and ISO principles, is different to traditional relationship management and generic collaborative working.
  • The importance of getting it right from the start – appreciating the essential corporate strategic drivers of why, where and how to collaborate for your organisation.
  • Key aspects of collaborative leadership, behaviours, trust and mutual benefit for success.
  • Features of risk management relating to organisational and when working with partners.
  • Appreciate what is key in a Joint Relationship Management Plan (JRMP).
