If you are interested in working with local industry stakeholders, and don’t know how best to approach communication, please attend “The BU Protocol of academics engaging with business” on 18/10/17.
BU has many partnerships and established relationships with local and national stakeholders. This short session, run by Ian Jones, Head Of Regional Community Partnerships within the Office of the Vice-Chancellor, will cover the route of communication and protocol for approaching and working with these stakeholders. Examples of best practice will be presented along with details on how to understand when institutional commitments are being made.
The intended learning outcomes of this session are:
- Attendees will learn who they need to speak to before contacting some of our partners
- Attendees will learn the protocols expected by some stakeholders
- Attendees will gain insight into when they are making “institutional commitments”
