Partnership conferences

• In order to ensure that the Partnership is both a substantive and dynamic body, we organise a number of partner events designed to inform, stimulate and provide a means of getting input from partnership on market opportunities and strategic direction.

  The agenda usually includes stimulus from outside such as key note speakers. In 2010 we were joined by a senior Unilever director and experts in leadership and improvisation skills.

  We also included the presentation of best practice case histories, showcasing new Group initiatives and the creation of opportunities to share experience and create social capital within the Group.
