Every successful project needs to engage people, experience, and authority—and the more complex the project, the harder this becomes. Diverse stakeholders bring different expectations, interests, cultures, and power dynamics to the table. This diversity can be celebrated, but it can also unravel into competing agendas, low trust, and decision-making gridlocks, turning motivation into frustration or burnout.
In this 4-day course, you will be able to design, implement, and shepherd stakeholder engagement over time—tapping into the full potential of collaboration to achieve outcomes beyond immediate goals and build synergies that extend beyond one-time partnerships.
By deepening the quality of relationships through intentional dialogue, you will learn to shape a project culture that embraces diversity, builds commitment, and delivers shared results.
Registration status: Open until October 12

This course is for you if you work across organizational boundaries—leading teams, partnerships, or multi-stakeholder initiatives where getting people to pull in the same direction is both essential and hard.

This course is especially relevant if you:
The core methodology you will learn in this course is the © Dialogic Change Model (DCM), a result-oriented, structured approach to planning and implementing a Stakeholder Dialogue. It helps you plan when, how, and with whom to partner, while guiding you through the non-linear, multi-level realities of stakeholder collaboration.
By using structured dialogue to create a space for collective intelligence, the model facilitates a process design that can be owned by all stakeholders.
At the end of the course, you will receive a certification, marking your newly learned ability to use the Collective Leadership Compass and navigate change collectively.
This certificate can be used to continue the learning journey of CLI’s Certification Programme to become a Collective Leadership Specialist.
The Certification Programme is designed for practitioners who want to develop recognized expertise in collective leadership and create meaningful, lasting change in their working context. Through a structured journey of three modules, two foundational and one advanced, you will deepen your practice and apply it in real-world contexts.
Day 1 (live): Getting Started | The role of Multi-Stakeholder Collaboration in SDG implementation for sustainability transformations
Day 2 (live): The © Dialogic Change Model to design and implement high quality engagement
Day 3 (live): Building commitment — designing roadmaps for successful stakeholder collaboration
Day 4 (live): Navigating key factors during implementation and monitoring process quality
Real learning doesn’t happen in a straight line. It happens when you step into unfamiliar territory, make mistakes, try again, and suddenly see things differently. Our courses are designed to create exactly that kind of space, where experimentation is encouraged, failure is part of the process, and genuine breakthroughs become possible.
Our courses are usually offered as 3 days of live training combined with a self-paced learning component. For this country-specific course, we’ve extended the format to 4 fully live days—to strengthen the shared learning journey among participants, and to make the most of the time and travel invested in joining us in person.
