Sample Content

For senior leaders:

Some clients have used our programme to support with their achievement of ISO44001 – the International Standard in Collaborative Working.

Our programmes comprise the option of two full-day events, Leading Collaboration (day 1) and Collaboration in Action (day 2).

Leading Collaboration is for senior leaders. It includes influencing and role modelling collaboration culture and ways of working.

Collaboration in Action is for programme managers, project leaders and designers who have active participation in the process of collaborative innovation and project management on a day-to-day basis.

Each of the two days is designed to both stand alone and work as a cohesive 2-day experience for those colleagues who would benefit from attending each session.

The design for each day ensures that delegates benefit from a highly interactive, positively challenging, enjoyable and insightful experience. They will have ample opportunities throughout to practise the strategies, tools and techniques presented in the programme. Delegates will actively learn through collaboration.

We make sure that your business’ leadership values and behaviours are appropriately reflected and consistent throughout the programme.

Why It Works

We don’t just talk about collaboration, we design sessions that build it in real time. Participants leave with shared language, renewed confidence and practical tools to apply immediately.

Led by Dr Jo North, and based on years of experience working across sectors and industries, our approach is honest, energising and focused on real-world delivery.
