NATO Processes and Procedure - A Working Perspective

Sept. 23, 2010 - PRLog -- NATO is amongst the most successful military alliances the world has known. For over 50 years NATO has helped maintain a balance of military capability which has ensured peace between two major ideologies. Today it continues to provide a capability that ensures the safety and security of its member nations. NATO is continuously growing and shortly two more nations, Albania and Croatia are to join the alliance.  Working with any multinational partnership has its challenges, and NATO is no exception; for businesses to work with NATO it is important that they understand the culture and processes that are used.

This half day Master Class will provide an opportunity for government and industry professionals to better understand the way NATO operates, its developing priorities, how the organisation is changing and how to work with it on various programmes.
