Unpacking the collaborative working

What must you know before you get‘behind the wheel’ of a collaboration or shared service?

The Highway Code seminar is one of the most popular in the CTPrac™programme. The reason is that many leaders and managers have been thrustinto collaborative working without any formal training and have foundthemselves lacking knowledge in the key decision-making areas.

For example, collaborative structures, collaborative governance and the raft oflegal issues that impact shared services and collaborative transformation. Theseinclude which models and legal entities can be used (eg combined authorities,joint committee, special purpose vehicles, mutuals, joint ventures etc), theimpact of EU procurement law, VAT exemptions, TUPE, social value, dataprotection and key issues in partnership communications.

Using enjoyable, rapid learning techniques, this seminar will take you throughthe five steps in the Highway Code – the essential things you need tounderstand about the rules, regulations and statutes that you will encounter onthe collaboration journey. They are set out in the diagram below.
