  4. Types of partnership • Self Interested Partnerships • only put in place in pursuit of funding • Mutual Partnership • in pursuit of a single relatively narrow agenda that benefits both parties • Strategic Partnership • characterised by a wider and longer term context and relationship • Shared Destiny Partnership • close to a merger situation

  6. The Passion Killers… • Forever and ever • Doesn’t have to be, have an exit strategy • Pulling rank • Needs to be ‘equality’ at the table • Mission creep • Be clear on remit at outset

  7. Passion killers… • ‘only here for the cash’ • Clarity at outset! • Target – what target? • Know what you are aiming for! • Death by drudgery • Keep meetings focused! • Strictly a need-to-know basis… • Communication is vital!

  8. So… • Start looking for potential partners • They may not be usual suspects • Look to private sector as well as VCS/Public Sector • Push for appropriate changes in commissioning structures • See public sector colleagues as part of the solution • Work collaboratively within the sector with mutual trust
