Business Partnering & Influence Skills

Everyone uses the words, but what do they really mean?

KLI can help your organization to understand how influence, collaboration and role clarity can be orchestrated to provide a more effective platform for conducting business. Whether partnering occurs with external groups and individuals or within the organization, specific learning and development can greatly improve overall capability in business partnering and influence.

KLI has developed a program that includes an Influence Roadmap that helps leaders and managers define under which conditions influence will be successful. Further, the focus KLI has on competencies for partnering and influence takes these capabilities from the “fuzzy” to the “concrete”.

Active partnership building accelerates and broadens the scope of what might occur naturally over time. With so many initiatives dependent upon solidifying partnerships to have the most impact…mergers, acquisitions, internal consultative approaches, external partnering opportunities….the time is now to invest in building this business survival skill.

KLI can help you to determine whether you and/or your team are where it needs to be. The Eight Key Elements for building alliances, partnerships and coalitions are a feature of our program.
