SUMMARY:Partnership Brokers Training 2015
DESCRIPTION:There is a growing demand worldwide from business\, public sector\, civil society and donor agencies for greater competence in scoping and managing the partnering process in non-traditional partnerships and cross-sector collaboration. A partnership ‘broker’ is someone who works as an intermediary building effective and innovative collaboration. Partnership brokers can be either internal – responsible for negotiating or managing partnerships on behalf of their organisation – or external – those offering independent partnership brokering services. \nEstablished in 2003\, the globally recognized Partnership Brokers Training Scheme builds the practical brokering skills and professional practices necessary to address complex challenges in the partnering process at all phases of a partnership’s life cycle. \nThe 4-day skills training and professional development includes: \n\nA theoretical framework for partnership brokering and the importance of good brokering in the development of robust\, efficient and innovative partnerships;\nBrokering skills development in: scoping\, resource-mapping\, facilitation\, interest-based negotiation\, relationship-management\, reaching agreement and reviewing;\nExploration of common partnership brokering challenges;\nAction planning for individual applications of the lessons from the course.\n\nA small\, diverse participant group will maximise potential for personal attention and individual opportunities for skills building and professional development. \nFor more information\, download the English brochure. \n
