The way we structure and lead collaboration throughout a project determines not only the quality of outcomes — but also their long-term impact and sustainability.

When diverse stakeholders come together, they bring different expectations, interests, cultures, and power dynamics to the table. This diversity is a strength — yet it can also create friction: competing agendas, low trust, lack of ownership, cultural barriers, or decision-making gridlocks. When this happens, the energy that should drive progress slows down, turning motivation into frustration or burnout.

The Dialogic Change Model offers a collaboration-centered pathway. 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 deepening the quality of relationships through intentional dialogue, we gradually shape a project culture that embraces diversity, builds commitment, and delivers shared results.

Important information

This training is planned as a hybrid event – both in-person participation in Potsdam, Germany, and online participation at Central European Time (CET) are possible. Please choose your format when you register.

CLI reserves the right to change an in-person participation into an online participation if you do not get your visa on time or other short-term notice reasons prevent you from coming to the course venue.

We will come back to you individually in such situations and find the best possible solutions together.
