Coordinating across multiple sites often leads to misalignment, delayed execution, and inconsistent outcomes, even with strong intent.

The situation this course is for

Teams launching multi-site programs frequently face challenges in establishing clear partnership terms, maintaining governance coherence, and ensuring equitable contributions. Without structured collaboration frameworks, initiatives risk fragmentation, compliance drift, and stakeholder fatigue. The complexity multiplies when partners operate under different mandates or reporting cycles.

Who this is for

A mid-to-senior level professional in research operations, program management, or strategic initiatives within public-sector, academic, or mission-driven organizations who leads or supports multi-site collaborations.

Who this is not for

This is not for individuals seeking general partnership theory or introductory project management. It is not designed for single-site operators or those without cross-entity coordination responsibilities.

What you walk away with

  • Apply a repeatable model for structuring multi-site partnerships
  • Design governance frameworks that maintain coherence across locations
  • Onboard partners efficiently using standardized collaboration playbooks
  • Track performance and compliance with unified metrics
  • Anticipate and resolve inter-organizational friction before escalation
