Collaborative Leadership Seminar
SDG Goal 17 seeks to strengthen global partnerships to support and achieve the ambitious targets of the 2030 Agenda, bringing together national governments, the international community, civil society, the private sector and other actors.
As organizations goals get complex and further reaching, it is expected that all actors involved in the process of achieving goals understand the importance of effective collaboration. Achieving set goals will require multi-partner engagements as the actions necessary are beyond the control of any one group of actors. Collaborative leadership skills are crucial for all key stakeholders to be able to overcome silos, engage constructively with each other and turn agendas and goals into reality.
A central challenge for public and private sector managers is to find ways to effectively bring together a wide array of potential partners to work together in unison to achieve the overall vision of the organization or project. While effective collaboration could be challenging, there are clear benefits in partnerships based on input and experiences from different experts in partnering institutions or government.
The seminar aims to help actors and decision – makers recognize when collaboration is effective, understand some of the most common barriers to effective collaboration and be able to put in place practical measures to overcome them. It considers what contributes to effective collaboration and suggests how organizations and individual managers can be active collaborators.
At the end of the seminar, participants will be able to:
Analyse different kinds of collaboration and the potential benefits and cost of collaboration in the context of achieving development.
Explain the concept of effective collaboration.
Recognize the difference barrier to collaboration; and identify possible strategies, techniques and tools to overcome them.
Improve the leadership skills necessary to promote and support collaboration.
