Collaboration in Organizational Networks

This master class gives you the latest scientific knowledge and practical tools for organizational networks. We examine this relatively new organizational form in which organizations create value together. As an organization, when should you join this kind of partnership, and when should you hold off? How do you ensure effectiveness in a network? In the Collaboration in Organizational Networks Master Class, we delve into all facets of collaborative organizations. So your organizational network and your organization can achieve their objectives.

Day 1

On day 1, we examine collaborative organizations. What does it look like when organizations collaborate? What different forms does this take? You learn when it makes sense to join which form or to initiate a partnership.

Day 2

Value creation is vital to an organizational network. On the second day, we focus on management and governance. How do you work together to ensure the effective and efficient functioning of an organizational network?

Day 3

The last day zooms in from the organization level to the individual level. You learn the roles to be filled in networks and how to go about this. We also set aside time for peer-to-peer coaching around your own behavior, problems or organization.

Time investment and result

The Collaboration in Organizational Networks Master Class takes place over 3 days. Days 1 and 2 are consecutive. Days 2 and 3 takes place several weeks apart. The break gives you the opportunity to apply your knowledge in your own working environment, and formulate a problem based on this.

The program is designed to limit the amount of preparation time. Participants should plan for a total of 5 hours of preparation time.

Upon completion of this master class, you will receive a Collaboration in Organizational Networks certificate from TIAS.

PE-points

Several parts of the program can be used to register for PE points. The PE point system is currently undergoing some changes. Feel free to contact our Program Adviser for further information.

A Word from our Academic Director

“Organizations are increasingly interested in or required to work together in groups. In addition to traditional bilateral partnerships, we also see more and more multilateral networks. This form of organization is actually contrary to the design of normal organizations, which do as much as possible on their own. We are increasingly finding that we cannot achieve our goals by ourselves. Organizations need each other. An organizational network is about creating value together. This master class teaches you how to achieve that.”

Dr. Patrick Kenis
