Building Productive Partnerships
A practical programme in building productive partnerships, connecting working concepts with team decisions and relevant workplace examples.
About the Course
This programme develops a working approach to building productive partnerships in the context of management priorities and execution. Participants move from understanding the main concepts to examining a case, testing alternatives and explaining a practical recommendation. The three modules focus on partner fit, shared objectives and relationship review. Examples are selected after the training brief so that they reflect the responsibilities and experience of the participant group.
Course Objectives
- Explain the role of partner fit and identify the information required for a reliable assessment.
- Use a structured worksheet to examine shared objectives and compare reasonable alternatives.
- Identify assumptions, missing evidence and implementation concerns related to relationship review.
- Prepare a decision brief with responsibilities and performance measures for discussion with a manager and team.
- Translate the exercise into a workplace action plan with owners, review points and measurable progress.

- Managers and supervisors: apply partner fit to their responsibilities through a guided case and a course-specific worksheet.
- Team leaders and improvement coordinators: apply shared objectives to their responsibilities through a guided case and a course-specific worksheet.
