Why choose this program?

A strong, practical program

The Collaboration in Organizational Networks Master Class combines the latest scientific findings with the years of practical experience of our instructors and participants.

We look at partnerships from an eco-perspective, not an ego-perspective. It’s about your organization’s role in a partnership for collective value creation.

You gain a sound, scientific foundation in partnerships from our instructors, who are also researchers in the field.

This includes ample attention to the operation of partnerships and the creation and retention of effectiveness in every network.

Participants come from the for-profit, non-profit and public sectors. This way the participant group reflects modern partnerships, which often involve these sectors.

On day 2, participants can present a problem from their day-to-day work for discussion.

Participants give the Collaboration in Organizational Networks Master Class a score of 8.3 out of 10.

How will this program benefit your organization?

Organizations like to maintain control and often want to do things on their own. But they are not always able to achieve their goals by themselves. That’s why we increasingly see them working together to create value in organizational networks. When should you join this kind of network? And don’t all of these different partnerships cost a great deal of time and money? The knowledge from this master class enables you to deploy partnerships effectively.

  • Boost your impact thanks to insights into your own organization and how to better manage and operate organizational networks.
  • Create more customer value by working together on a shared goal in effective partnerships.
  • Achieve strategic objectives with support from partners.
  • Offer more customized services thanks to optimal use of networks and alliances.

De TIAS experience of Dorine Peters-van Dommelen

“I signed up for this program because I wanted to learn about the latest developments. The main thing I learned is knowing when you need an organizational network and when to pull back from it. Sometimes it seems like we’re organizing just to organize. The question we always need to ask ourselves is whether the current problem really requires an organizational network. Sometimes it doesn’t, and a simple project organization will suffice.”

Dorine Peters-van Dommelen, Interim Director of Real Estate, Emergis
