Collaborative Working and Addressing Shared Challenges
Our July meeting of the Marketing and Communications Professional Network is focused on tackling shared challenges and working together to find practical solutions. This session places collaboration at its heart, with plenty of opportunities to connect, exchange ideas, and learn from one another.
We’ll begin with our popular speed networking activity – a chance to have short, focused conversations with peers, make new connections, and spark discussions you can continue beyond the session.
We’re also keen to hear from members who are currently collaborating on joint projects or campaigns. This is a great opportunity to share your experiences: what prompted the collaboration, how it’s worked in practice, and the value it has delivered. Has working together strengthened your outcomes? What have you gained from peer-to-peer support? If you’d like to contribute, we’d love to hear from you.
The session will conclude with two breakout discussions:
- Identifying shared challenges and exploring opportunities for collective solutions
- Show and tell – a chance to share something you’re particularly proud of or excited about
Come along ready to contribute, collaborate, and celebrate successes – as well as to learn from others.
At a time when pressures can feel isolating, this session offers a supportive and energising space to connect with peers facing similar challenges. We hope you’ll join us—book your place today.
