Partnerships 101
Partnerships are Created When:
- There appears to be no one person or group responsible for the issue;
- It doesn't seem possible to solve the problem or address the situation by just one group - due to magnitude, lack of knowledge or vague nature of the issue;
- The cost of solving the problem or addressing the issue is too costly for one group to address; and/or,
- It is important to have a large number of people involved to educate and have good buy-in to the process.
The Best Partnerships are Those (Either Formal or Informal) That:
- Have an organization or a structure to them
- Have a vision, mission, and goals
- Are designed to change as issues evolve and problems are solved
- Find ways to involve people face-to-face but make maximum use of emerging and existing technologies
- Build in a sustained maximum activity and involvement by stakeholders and other participants
- Provide necessary plans such as academic, marketing, technology and communication plans
- Promise and produce a results which benefits all group/process members
- Design an active and interactive initial learning period and maintain ongoing learning for stakeholders and participants
- Establish and maintain effective communication and ongoing dialog
