Join Partnering Resources for an upcoming public workshop offered through Boston University's Corporate Education Center:

Building Cultural Intelligence
One of the most frequently cited reasons for failure in mergers and outsourcing engagements is culture. Often, organizations underestimate the power of culture to influence decision making, problem solving, and collaboration. To build partnerships and relationships, we need to improve our cultural intelligence: the capability to move fluidly and work successfully with different countries and customs. In this course, participants build cultural intelligence and gain cross-cultural success skills. Click here for more information and upcoming course dates.

Advanced Strategic Planning
Ready to take strategy to the next level? In this fast-paced, executive-level course, we look at emerging best practices, new tools and techniques, and innovations in strategy and strategic planning. We draw on the best selling book Blue Ocean Strategy and cutting-edge articles such as Stop Making Plans; Start Making Decisions to identify practical, impactful strategic processes that work in the reality of today’s complex, rapidly-changing organizations.
