Target Audience Mid-to-senior level business professionals currently in or transitioning into Business Partnering roles in functions such as Finance, HR, L&D, IT/Digital, Commercial / Marketing and Legal whose role is to provide advisory and consultative solutioning cross-functionally to drive organisational outcomes with or without formal authority. Duration 2 Days Course Overview In today’s complex and matrixed organisations, functional expertise alone isn't enough and silo'd orgnaisations are dangerously constrained from innovation. Business Partners are expected to operate as strategic integrators and collaborators—connecting insight with influence to co-create value.

This course is designed by highly qualified learning design experts, assisted and guided by a Doctoral & Masters level leadership team. Working closely with subject matter leaders with extensive domain experience, this course is built on sound academic rigour and applied real world experience. Run in a cohort-based, activity-led format, it goes beyond theory to provide practical methods and frameworks that you can immediately apply in your workplace. Key Outcomes Define the evolving role of a Business Partner and differentiate it from functional, support, and transactional roles. Adopt a universal Partnering Lifecycle Model that moves from alignment through insight, challenge, co-creation, and enablement. Build strategic relationships with stakeholders based on trust, credibility, and mutual accountability. Use data and insight to influence decision-making beyond the numbers or policy.
