CHESTNUT HILL, MA - Around the world companies are forming partnerships with non-profit organizations, government agencies and citizen groups as a way to solve pressing social problems. But finding common ground among diverse partners can be a challenge. This program looks at different partnership models and ways to identify appropriate partners and develop a shared vision. It uses case studies, group problem-solving exercises, peer coaching and guest speakers.

Instructor Lawrence Moore, Ph.D., previously Director of Communications & Public Affairs for a multi-billion dollar global business unit of Motorola, has nearly two decades of experience in the design, development and implementation of corporate social responsibility programs. As director of communications and public affairs for a $1.7-billion global business unit of Motorola, he helped the company forge a link between Baldrige-related Performance Excellence goals and The Center's Standards of Excellence. His experience includes senior management roles in external communications, issues management, corporate philanthropy, employee communications, media relations and public affairs.

Learn how to identify and create partnerships that support both the company's strategic business goals while meeting important community needs and expectations:

  • Challenges and opportunities of unique partnership models

  • Appropriate roles for partnerships as part of the company's corporate citizenship strategy

  • Identifying appropriate partners and developing a shared vision

  • Establishing ground rules and negotiating differences
