Strategic Partnerships and Collaboration Training gives professionals the tools to build, structure, and govern partnerships between agencies, sectors, or organisations, turning good intentions into partnerships that actually deliver.
Upcoming sessions in Johannesburg
No single institution can deliver complex public outcomes alone, which is why partnerships between agencies, sectors, and organisations have become central to how work gets done, yet many collapse from unclear governance rather than a bad initial idea. This course teaches participants how to identify the right partners, structure agreements such as MOUs and joint frameworks, and govern a partnership once it is running so that roles, resources, and accountability stay clear.
Participants examine case studies of both successful and failed cross-sector collaborations, extracting practical lessons on shared decision-making, resource contribution, and conflict resolution between partners. The course closes with participants drafting a partnership framework for a real or planned collaboration.
Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from public sector institutions, private enterprises, development organizations, and regulated professional environments, examining how strategic partnerships and collaboration is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for governance and shared decision-making, interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders. Sessions move deliberately from principles to application, so that each technique introduced is practised against a realistic problem before the programme moves on — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations delegates return to.
