Growing demand for greater competence in managing the partnering process in multi-stakeholder relationships requires a unique skillset to form and maintain effective partnerships. This is particularly true for business, nonprofit, and government professionals that are increasingly seeking to work together to solve complex social problems.
The Partnership Brokers Association, together with CCVO and JS Daw & Associates, are pleased to bring the globally recognized Partnership Brokers Training program to Calgary. This is an intensive program, designed for a diverse group of partnership practitioners from business, nonprofit, community, government, and philanthropy. Successful program participants bring a combination of education and/or experience to the program that allows them to critically evaluate and apply the partnership brokering skills learned.
This skills training allows participants to:
Gain a theoretical framework for partnership brokering and the development of inclusive and innovative partnerships, consortia, and coalitions.
Develop skills in scoping, resource-mapping, facilitation, interest-based negotiation, relationship management, reaching agreement, and reviewing.
Explore common partnership brokering challenges and how to address them.
Create individualized action plans to apply the lessons from the course.
“This Partnership Brokers training will challenge you at the personal level as much as at the professional level. I found it to be very practical, and have already used tools I learned within my organization to strengthen and redefine our current partnership.”
“I have enjoyed a number of wonderful professional development opportunities throughout my career, but Partnership Brokers Training is certainly at the top of that list! I believe the content, expert instruction, and inspiring colleagues form a magical product that is second to none!”
