Clare MacDonald | NATS & Institute of Collaborative Working
Collaboration is key in KAM
Collaborative approaches broaden the capability of organisations to respond to (pull) or propose (push) more complex propositions to meet the demands of the market or specific challenges. Collaborative thinking allows organisations to apply their capabilities and resources to expand propositions, particularly working with key customers. But it’s not so simple. Collaboration between complex organisations with different start points can have amazing outcomes and/or stir up a hornet's nest of conflicts. Key account managers are positioned at the fulcrum of the relationship, so they must have a role - but what is it?
Clare McDonald, of the Institute for Collaborative Working and NATS, the UK's leading provider of air traffic control services, will share lessons learned from real collaborative projects.
- Setting up a collaborative project
- Keeping a collaboration on track
- Pitfalls to avoid
Collaborative thinking is great, but not enough - in order to translate into action you need to go further.
