Collaborative Management

Collaborative Management Institute: Leading Through Partnership
Summer 2011:
July 18-22, 2011

Managers are increasingly asked to build relationships with people and organizations that span governmental, business and non-profit settings to carry out their jobs. The resulting networks may take the form of public-private partnerships, cross-sector collaborations, and strategic alliances. Leading and succeeding within these settings requires collaboration skills, as well as attitudes and knowledge about how best to function and succeed within networked environments.

The UVM Collaborative Management Institute (CMI) provides graduate and executive leadership students with an opportunity to learn how best to lead and succeed in settings that require partnering with others to achieve common goals and outcomes. The CMI draws on participants’ professional expertise and interests with applications draw from case studies, guest speakers and practice-oriented projects.
