How To: Find Opportunities in Cross-Industry Collaboration
Investigate the ways in which sports is working with other industries to achieve success.
The confluence between sports and the wider entertainment industries has never been greater, with collaborations now commonplace between sports teams and the worlds of music, fashion, television. This workshop will enable you to explore the ins and outs of successfully crossing into other industries to achieve results. You will:
- Learn the key ingredients of working with non-sporting partners effectively, from identification to communication
- Engage in a practical skills session aimed at helping you Collaborate Across Tribes – so that you can lead in cross-industry scenarios
- Discover what works – and what doesn’t – when it comes to partnering outside your typical sphere of influence
Club Workshops are designed to strengthen your leadership and your connections – building skills and relationships that last beyond the room.
