  3. Objectives: At the end of this presentation, the participants will be able to: • Identify key elements of successful workforce partnerships. • Strategize within their own organizations regarding successful partnerships. • Identify and mitigate possible pitfalls within existing and planned partnerships.

  4. Case Study #1 • Midwestern community college • Profile • Project Elements: GRAD Program • What went right • What went wrong • How we fixed it

  5. Case study # 2 • Midwestern community college (smaller, different environment) • Profile • Project elements: Health Care Collaborative, multiple constituencies, multiple potential fiscal agents • What went right • What went wrong • How we fixed it

  6. Elements of good partnerships: • Stakeholder involvement • Advance planning • Communication along the continuum • Identification of key partners and their continued involvement • Process identification • Joint decision-making • Absolute commitment by all key partners • Financials: • Budget preparation • Budget decisions • Role delineation • Legal considerations

  7. Stakeholder involvement

  8. Advance planning • Decide as much as possible the scope of the project • Talk it out, using as many constituencies as possible • Look for holes • Involve partners on ALL sides (including future students if possible) • Walk through the details, include clerical and logistical issues (Who turns off the lights? Who is keeper of the keys? What about security?)

  9. Communication along the continuum • Keep talking it out, using as many constituencies as possible • All decisions (major and minor) should be communicated to the group by meeting, writing, etc. • Determine your assumptions first • Establish mutual priorities and agree in writing • Keep everyone involved every step of the way

  10. Identification of key partners and their continued involvement • You can’t have everyone involved at the decision-making table, but you MUST have identified key partners • If a key partner is reluctant, rethink the project

  11. Process identification • What is the scope of the project from a process viewpoint? • What are the specific elements? • What needs to be done? • Identify the steps, map the steps and assign someone to be in charge of each step. • Integrate the steps with each, each organization and the fiscal process.

  12. Mercy’s oversight model Administrative Oversight Team Steering Committee Key element Impact Team Committee A Committee B Committee C Committee D Committee Example: Marketing, Communication, Technology, etc.

  13. Joint decision-making • The parties may differ significantly in their viewpoints • Agreements should be thoroughly discussed and final decisions should be in writing or at least in meeting minutes

  14. Absolute commitment by all partners

  15. Financial considerations • Budget preparation • Budget decisions

  16. Role delineations • Who serves in what capacity? Be ready to assume a role that is outside of your comfort zone. • Is any one entity in charge? • How are decisions made? • Who serves an oversight role? Etc.

  17. Legal considerations • Contracts? • Who serves as the fiscal agent? • How do you prove that deposits are JOINT money or project money, should the issue arise? • How do financial transactions take place? In colleges, this may be a significant limiter.
