Business partner development

Accelerating the capability of your business partners

Empower your partners to add more strategic value to your organisation

Support functions are at the heart of most successful organisations; they’re the cornerstone of stability, the first line of defence for major issues, and often the influencer of positive change. As the modern business partner (BP) role continues to evolve with today’s change of pace, so does the need to adapt a BP’s skills, knowledge, and mindset to better support their organisation’s objectives. Upskilling the capabilities of BPs to have a more strategic, holistic, and developmental impact is critical for any support functions’ continued success.

Our flagship business partner development programmes equip your people with the right mindset, communication, influence, relationship-building skills, and resilience needed to deliver as a true strategic partner.

Strategic knowhow can support the growth of your organisation

From talent planning to effectively using research and data, you need your business partners to influence the change that caters to the specific needs of your business.

Without specialist support, you may find:

You have people in positions of influence that don’t understand your organisation and what it needs
You’re unable to successfully navigate periods of transition and change
Your business partners lack the necessary skills to drive the organisation forward
Your business partners lack the capability to succeed in new roles
Overall productivity and profitability could be affected

Companies that we work with

Having gone through similar programmes in the past, I wasn’t sure what to expect. However, NFP’s programme far surpassed my expectations; I got a lot out of speaking and engaging with other partners and having an opportunity to self-reflect on my style and engagement with the business. An excellent programme - really engaging and enjoyable!
