Introduction

The foundation for robust and effective collaboration relies on both the operating processes and the interactions of the parties involved. This two day course focuses on providing insight to the impacts cultures and behaviors have on performance, how to identify, monitor, measure and address both positive and negative behaviors.

A major impact on delivering successful collaborative working is the behaviors of those involved and the influences that drive these. There is also a strong linkage between how behaviors are reflected in a collaborative environment and the corporate cultures of collaborating organisations within which these collaborations are developed and operated. This aim of this two day workshop is to broaden the perspective of leaders, managers and teams to recognize and address:

  • Personal behavior types
  • Individual drivers
  • The impacts of nature and nurture on behaviors
  • Understanding personality traits in team selections
  • The influences risk can introduce
  • The pressures of the business environment
  • The cultural profiles of collaborating organisations
  • The relationships between behaviors and processes
  • Competences required for effective collaboration
  • Perceived or actual constraints
