The two core workshops we conduct . . .
Managing External Resources (MER)
This is our core program, or "flagship course"
MER helps professionals and specialists make the transition from hands-on to managing the work now being done by vendors.
The emphasis is on ensuring that vendors are able to deliver the best results within the terms of agreement. This means knowing how to manage the vendor relationship and the delivery process, and integrate the results.
The workshop provides essential skills, tools and concepts for professionals, technical specialists and project/program leaders to manage the work of vendors.
Creating Effective Partnerships (CEP)
CEP delivers a highly collaborative workshop that outlines an approach to partnering that is part of the client's strategic philosophy and intended method of working with vendors. It is strongly recommended to include partners in this workshop.
The emphasis is on opening up dialogue, and encouraging greater understanding of the perspectives and priorities of the other party.
Scope of the program is similar to MER, but with additional material for vendors and time spent on partnering.
