“Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress, working together is success” Henry Ford

Partnership development

Recently, we have seen a strong push for partnership approaches in public policy, quality standards and funding guidelines. Most importantly though, evidence demonstrates that working in partnership allows agencies to deliver services that are better coordinated, more effective and more efficient. The benefits of strong partnerships are clear, but putting it into practice, is often challenging. Many partnerships struggle to get off the ground, while others fail to achieve their objectives.

Effective partnerships are dependent on thoughtful planning, a clear vision and the right mix of members working together to achieve shared goals.
