The world today is becoming ever more complex and challenging. 

 Whether it be tackling climate change, global poverty or recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic, it is no longer possible to solve tough, 'too hard basket' problems alone.

It will take actors from different sectors to come together and work in new ways if we are going to solve these tough wicked problems.

But many industries and sectors are also looking beyond the boundaries of their own organisations and seeking out partners to develop new innovative products, achieve business growth through supply chain partnering or to improve population health outcomes.

As partnering is now being embraced globally and it is critical that we acquire the knowledge and skills to do it simply, quickly and effectively.
