Partnering

Partnering establishes the skills, methods, and cooperative environment needed for successful projects. On partnered projects all parties agree to focus on creative cooperation and collaborative problem resolution. Emphasis is placed on teamwork, mutual respect, trust, and integrity.

Successful partners develop new attitudes and exercise new behavior patterns. These attitudes and behaviors are developed in the partnering workshops and supported and sustained by follow-up workshops and frequent evaluations.

Team Building workshops usually include some structured exercises that may focus on unity, trust, or the importance of common objectives. Team Building emphasizes interactive group processes, the "how" of effective group behavior.

  •  A collaborative climate
  •  A results-driven structure
  •  Standards of excellence
  •  Competent members
  •  External support and recognition
  •  A unified commitment
  •  Principled leadership

Generally, the participants in a Team Building workshop come away with a greater understanding of their own strengths and areas needing improvement, and a greater appreciation of how they as individuals can contribute effectively to group activity.

  • Stages of Team Growth

Strategic Partnering

Strategic Partnering is a firm commitment to establish improved working relationships b etween key stakeholders to a project. Strategic Partnering is the process of discussing common objectives and the strategies for achieving these objectives.

 

 

Creating these strategic partnerships is done through developing relationships, trust, and unity. another critical element is communicating, clarifying and solidifying the expectations of all parties. This important step can eleminate conflict.

 CONFLICT = VIOLATION OF EXPECTATION

In spite of all the recent attention given to Strategic Partnering enyone who has even tried to organize a project knows how hard it can be to get the whole team "on board" to ensure that everyone knows where the project is headed an agrees on what it will take to succeed. A Strategic Partnering workshop will facilitate your project's success.
