Collaborations and partnerships can have a broad impact on an organization, often requiring critical resources from any number of departments including programs, marketing, finance and senior management. But how often are all of those departments at the table to assess your organization’s opportunities and craft an approach that respects the existing demands on the parties involved? NAS’ Creative Alliances seminar is a two-day working session designed to help cross-departmental leadership teams explore critical questions like:
- Under what circumstances are alliances appropriate for your mission, needs and environment?
- And, if undertaken, what form should these initiatives take?
- What factors will contribute to the success of these partnerships?
