- Why a business would want to join a consortium of businesses to enhance their own business improvement.
- What consortium membership means, how a business participates and what the benefits are.
- The cost and other commitments a business must make when joining a consortium.
- The structure of a consortium.
- How a consortium operates, who manages the overall organization and who facilitates the individual consortium sponsored events.
- What functional areas within a business can benefit from a consortium membership.
- Peer-to-peer learning fundamental to consortiums, and how this effectively works.
