Module aims
The module aims to examine best practice in Collaborative Working, specifically in the context of projects, programmes and portfolios (P3M). The impact of effective Leadership, Teamworking, Communication, Stakeholder Engagement and Intelligence will all be explored. Participants will be encouraged to reflect on their own style of leadership and interaction in order to facilitate their personal and professional development.

Learning outcomes
The emphasis on learning is focused on working in, and leading teams to leverage organisational collaboration. There will also be some consideration of cross-organisational collaboration mechanisms and issues. On completion of the module, participants should be able to:

• Critically apply appropriate strategies, tools and techniques for enhancing collaboration and dealing with conflict at the interpersonal, intra and inter-organisational level.
• Demonstrate knowledge of key contemporary approaches to leadership and management - including agile - and understand their relevance to fostering collaboration in P3M.
• Critically analyse the challenges of leading and managing in a collaborative context and demonstrate familiarity with a range of tools and techniques which can be used to support collaborative working.
