SUMMARY:Webinar 'Business & Global Supply Chains: Making Cross-Sector Colla
 boration Work'
DESCRIPTION:Global challenges increasingly land on the desks of companies: 
 new supply chain regulation\, climate risks\, human rights expectations\, 
 and pressure from customers and investors. Yet the solutions rarely sit wi
 thin one organisation. They require collaboration across Business\, Govern
 ment and NGOs\, especially where global value chains intersect with public
  interests and local realities.\n\nLearn what it takes for effective colla
 boration\nIn practice\, those collaborations can be frustratingly hard to 
 make work. Progress stalls\, meetings multiply\, and trust can erode quick
 ly. Not because people don’t care\, but because these three worlds often
  operate with different values\, incentives\, timeframes\, languages 
 and accountability. What looks “pragmatic” to one party can feel “c
 ompromising” to another\; what feels “urgent” to one can be “impos
 sible” for the other.\n\nIn this free online inspiration webinar at Radb
 oud University\, you will explore how to work outside your bubble in a w
 ay that is both realistic and constructive. Using international supply ch
 ains as a concrete anchor\, we’ll unpack common friction points in Gove
 rnment–Business-NGO collaboration and share practical\, research-informe
 d ways to align stakeholders\, clarify expectations\, and move from dialog
 ue to workable joint action—without overselling quick wins.\n\nPractical
  insights from academic experts\n\nOn Tuesday 2 June 2026\, dr. Willem El
 bers\,  programme director of Global Challenges\, and dr. Leona Henry\, c
 ross-sector partnership specialist at Radboud University\,  will be in co
 nversation about what cross-sector collaboration actually demands in day-t
 o-day practice: from navigating competing mandates and reputational risk t
 o building trust\, setting shared goals\, and communicating across fundame
 ntally different organisational cultures.\nWhat will you take away?\nIn on
 e hour\, you will leave with:\n\n 	A clear view of why collaboration acros
 s sectors often gets stuck (and the most common “hidden” causes)\n 	A 
 better understanding of differences in interests\, incentives\, time hori
 zons and accountability—and use that to prevent misunderstandings\n 	A s
 harper understanding of what “getting out of your bubble” looks like i
 n real interactions and decision-making\n 	Concrete examples from internat
 ional supply chain contexts where public\, commercial and civil-society pr
 iorities collide\n 	A set of realistic principles for structuring multi-st
 akeholder collaboration so it becomes more efficient and less draining\n\n
 Who is it for?\nFor professionals involved in multi-stakeholder partnershi
 ps working on global challenges across sectors\, including:\n\n 	Consultan
 ts working in sustainability\;\n 	Sustainability professionals\, such as E
 SG\, procurement and responsible sourcing managers and impact professional
 s\;\n 	Policy and programme professionals in Government and public agencie
 s\;\n 	NGO partnership leads\, programme managers and advocacy professiona
 ls\;\n 	Anyone involved in multi-stakeholder initiatives and international
  value chains. \n\nSign up for the inspiration session
