Oxford, United Kingdom

Cross-sector partnerships have never been higher up both the international development agenda and the business sustainability agenda. In many ways, 2015 marks a turning point in the field: the case for collaboration has been made and almost universally accepted. The priority now is on making partnerships happen at a scale, quality and with an impact that will dwarf the current efforts. That is the focus of a series of programmes being taught at the Oxford-based The Partnering Initiative (TPI), where Louise Kjaer will be guest lecturing on how to build effective partnerships.
