Course Overview

The old expression “two heads are better than one” is certainly true when collaboration runs smoothly—when everybody gets along, contributes unique perspectives and skills and works together to resolve problems productively. But what about when people argue, work gets stalled and contention is prevalent?

Successful collaboration involves far more than just working side-by-side. It’s a process that requires attitudes, skills and practices that can be learned and strengthened. Mastering them will make your job easier and it will also help you become more successful professionally.

This program will focus on how to structure and implement an effective collaboration process so that working with others will be a productive and enjoyable experience.

Why Learn Online?

Learning new skills online can be perfect for organisations and employees for the following reasons:

You only have one or a few employees to train and develop (on a specific training topic)
Getting a trainer to your location could be difficult or cost-prohibitive
The employees you want to train work from home or are part-time
You don’t have the resources to cover for the employees you want to be trained, so allowing them to the training online means they won’t need to leave their work areas
Your training budget is limited, and online learning is more cost-effective
You want your people trained in a wide range of skills this year,’s online learning provides much better value to get everyone involved in learning and developing themselves.
