ffective Partnership Management (EPM)
16 October - 06 November 2010 / 17 October - 04 November 2011 Creating "collaborative advantage"
Partnerships between public sector, private sector and civil society became increasingly prominent throughout the last years. Such partnerships are supposed to create ‘collaborative advantage’ by achieving results that could not have been achieved on an individual basis. However, effective partnership management faces a variety of challenges. Business, government and civil society organizations often speak a different language, have diverse interests, perspectives, and operate in a context of specific organizational cultures. To overcome these divides proves to be a challenging task for partnership managers. Offering a unique combination of both theoretical foundation of partnerships for
sustainable development and experiential knowledge on how these
approaches can be best put in practice, this training provides you with the skills and tools needed for successful partnership management.
What to expect The EPM program provides you with an in-depth and holistic overview of the debate and practices of partnerships for sustainable development. It focuses on understanding the partnership process and how to best manage this process for the envisaged outcome. You develop insights on how to select partners, effective stakeholder management, design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the partnering process, and how to take the broader partnership environment into consideration. The training follows an interactive learning approach where participants, experts and partnership managers exchange their experiences. Different assignments such as developing a partnership business plan support reflecting on how to apply the gained knowledge in your everyday practice. << back to top What you will gain Upon completion of the training, you are equipped with a combination of theoretical, managerial and practical insights on how to make partnerships between public sector, business and civil society more effective and efficient.
