Kickstart or Reset Your Collaborative Partnerships

Kickstart or reset your project with stronger trust, shared purpose and a clear, practical way of working together. Our expertly facilitated collaboration workshops help clients and contractors align from day one.

Whether your contract is just signed or already underway, these specially tailored sessions create long-term value beyond the paperwork.

What’s the Purpose?

Our collaboration workshops build trust, strengthen communication and get your joint team working effectively together from the start. They’re designed to set a strong foundation for high-performing, collaborative delivery.

Who Are They For?

These workshops are ideal for:

  • Client and contractor teams about to start working together
  • Client–supplier relationships in joint projects
  • Multi-partner projects with shared goals
  • Organisations with formal contracts who want to go beyond the basics and create genuine collaborative success

What’s Involved?

You’ll get a tailored workshop, designed in partnership with you. We’ll co-create the agenda with input from each organisation, so the session meets real needs and priorities.

Workshops are highly engaging, practical and focused on action. We use proven collaboration tools aligned with ISO 44001 best practice.

You can expect:

  • Shared vision and objectives
  • Agreed values and behaviours
  • Clear ways of working
  • Stronger relationships
  • A joint action plan to move forward

Workshops are usually delivered face-to-face over a half or full day, depending on the complexity of the contract and team size. They can also be delivered online.
