Why attend Becoming a Business Partner? |
|
The role of internal consultant or business partner is fast becoming a must for many organisations. Projects typically falter because of a lack of understanding of the broader context, poor contracting, weak sponsors, insufficient communication and poorly defined roles or processes. It can affect relationships that lack a strong foundation or commitment.
At an organisational level there’s a need to resolve complex problems, break down the silo mentality and develop skills in dealing with ambiguity. Working as a business partner requires a different skill set, as well as knowledge and a strategy to put the tools and processes to best use. This internal consultancy skills training will give you the skills and techniques to do just that.
