Collaborative Leadership Workshops
For new perspectives on leadership in a world of collaboration, improvement and financial constraint join our workshops on 9, 10 & 24 July.
Today's leaders and senior managers have proven themselves adept at maintaining customer value by driving improvement and efficiency within their organisations. Yet faced with a perfect storm driven by an uncertain economic outlook, unprecedented levels of public spending cuts and deep seated social, cultural and commercial challenges, there is recognition that organisations will need to further adapt and change if they are to survive and thrive.
Few organisations, whether public, private or voluntary, are unaffected by these drivers. Their leaders face similar, and often mutual, challenges in this increasingly interconnected world. Many are seeking to work together to address these challenges. As a result a more collegiate and collaborative approach to leadership is rapidly emerging.
University of Derby Corporate and Shared Service Architects have developed a suite of three inter-connected workshops incorporating a wide range of leadership tools and techniques to help you confidently lead beyond your organisational boundaries. The programme is specifically designed to accelerate the process of securing new collaborative opportunities and to deliver additional value-add through more effective partnership working.
