Foundations
The Foundations Module explores the key conceptual frameworks underpinning partnership brokering and offers an opportunity for deeper understanding of your evolving and changing role in the partnering process. This module consists of 4 plenary sessions, self-paced learning and 4 learning group sessions and it can be done online.
Skills in Practice
The Skills in Practice Module is offered over 4 sessions (one as an intensive full day or two half days). It provides the opportunity to practice the key skills involved in partnership brokering and to try out some of the approaches covered in the Foundations Module. This module explores scoping and building, and managing and maintaining partnerships, and reflects on some of the common challenges such as power dynamics and navigating diversity.
Self and Systems
The Self and Systems Module offers the opportunity to dig deeper into an exploration of how our brokering practice links to, and influences, the systems in which we operate. Topics explored include collaborative leadership, mutual accountability, reviewing the partnership process, how best to ensure partnering outcomes are sustained and what is involved in you as a partnership broker or the partners themselves moving on from the partnership.
