CLASSROOM DATES
INTRODUCTION
The Collaborative Business Models Training Course provides a comprehensive exploration of how modern organisations can leverage collaboration to drive innovation, competitiveness, and long-term value creation.

The course also introduces practical methods for structuring and evaluating business models, including business model innovation, knowledge management principles, creative thinking techniques, and ecosystem-based collaboration.
