Feedback from attendees:
"I found your short course, value for money, and informative. And for my business, from where I am with certain clients, a timely reminder of where we should be in regards to developing new and existing partnerships.
Already I have seen results, based on the client I used in my case study. In addition to this we have a potentially large partnership agreement with one of our clients in the pipeline, so a lot of what I took from the course we plan to implement in discussions with them."

"A well thought out course targeting all the potential pain points organisations face when contemplating partnering as a strategy. The course tutor (Gillian) was fantastic having spent many years in the commercial sector herself. The combination of these two things allowed me to test our commercial assumptions, refine existing strategies and provided us with the tools to evaluate our true position vs perceived position in the partnering process. A worthwhile investment in both time and money".

"I have been able to use the principles of the Strategic Partnering course to good effect. Offering of your course through the Ak. University was timely for us, as we had not long beforehand identified partnering opportunities with two leading French companies that, like us, operate in the viticulture industry, and we have recently concluded successful partnering agreements with them both. They are important components to our strategy for future commercial success."
