This highly interactive one-day workshop provides professionals with the tools and skills needed to build lasting business partnerships among teams, functions and third-party alliances.
In the Building Business Partnerships workshop participants examine six key Partnering Factors as they relate to building business partnerships within and between groups. Participants use the Partnering Factors to assess their business partnerships with one or two of their partner groups, develop strategies for implementing each factor, and practice methods for moving the partnerships forward.
The HBR case study, “Mount Everest – 1996” is used as a foundation to set the framework for building effective business partnerships.
