What typically happens during a partnering workshop?

During a partnering workshop, the primary focus is on fostering collaboration and understanding among the various stakeholders involved in a project. This setting allows parties to outline their priorities, share concerns, and discuss expectations openly. The goal is to build a foundation for effective communication and teamwork throughout the project’s lifecycle. By articulating these priorities and concerns, all parties can better align their objectives and work together toward common goals, which can significantly enhance project outcomes and relationships.

In contrast, signing a final contract, determining the project timeline, and evaluating past projects are typically activities that occur in different phases of the project management process. These elements may be addressed at other stages, but they do not capture the essence of what is accomplished specifically during a partnering workshop.
