Identifying Strategic Links and Building Effective Relationships
For information on the Partnership Development program in REGINA, go here
Organizations are defined by the web of relationships required to operationalize strategy. Increasingly, organizational units must work closely together to streamline processes, share customer intelligence, or reduce costs. Yet some of the biggest organizational challenges involve coordination among units, as well as coordination with suppliers and other business partners.
In Partnership Development, participants learn how to help their clients define the key relationships that must be developed. Diagnostic tools and interventions will be explored to assist the parties in surfacing and managing conflict and defining partnering protocols to create the necessary coordination and flow. Guidelines and processes for building and re-building organizational relationships will be applied and practised.
