Testing some concepts

This survey aim to assess the needs and interests of professionals in anti-corruption, asset recovery, compliance,  business integrity, good governance and related fields for advanced continuing education.

The course aims to provide participants with practical and hands-on tools to conceptualise, establish and implement Collective Action initiatives. Collection Action initiatives bring together business, government and civil society to address shared corruption challenges, and raise the standards of business integrity and fair competition. 

Who is this course for? 

All anti-corruption practitioners who are interested in innovative multi-stakeholder anti-corruption approaches in the business integrity space would benefit from this course.

It is particularly tailored to stakeholders engaged in Collective Action initiatives, including but not limited to:

• Private sector: compliance officers, auditors, risk managers, etc.
• Government: representatives of anti-corruption agencies, ministries of justice, procurement agencies, ministries of economy
• Civil society/international organisations focussing on transparency, businesses-development, sustainability, etc.

Implementing Collective Action initiatives: from theory to practice

While the theory of Collective Action is fairly simple, translating it into practice can be challenging. Our course will guide participants through common challenges including:

• managing conflicting stakeholder expectations;
• changing political and economic landscapes;
• the challenge of finding common goals;
• and, perhaps most importantly, building the necessary trust to address these issues collectively.  

The course is self-paced and interactive to ensure that what participants learn is applicable and responsive to their environment. It keeps the theory concise and focuses on helping practitioners to develop their thinking process through guiding questions and interactive scenarios. The ultimate aim is for practitioners to identify what Collective Action could look like in their context.

Content overview

• Module 1: Introducing the concept of Collective Action and how to Collective Action opportunities.
• Module 2: Identifying relevant stakeholders for Collective Action.

This is a great starting point for discussion with colleagues, partner organisations, or our Collective Action specialists at the Basel Institute.
