Forming links, developing networks, promoting collaboration: a challenge for universities

This paper discusses the significance of collaborative relationships in the future development of professional education and why the engagement of universities and other training institutions in regional collaborative networks is so important. It draws on recent UK experience to illustrate the benefits which can be achieved by such an emphasis. The paper is designed to stimulate discussion of how universities might achieve greater collaboration with key stakeholders in the design and delivery of post-experience management training.
