“We are losing our innocence about how the world we live in works. In the past, things seemed certain. Today, they are uncertain... “Obviously, we are sailing through uncharted waters and need new maps”. John Pisapia, Florida Atlantic University
Breaking out of silos The 21st Century will be increasingly about partnerships, relationships and collaboration Those organisations who understand this and develop skills of building and sustaining partnerships will flourish The cultural and heritage sector will face continuing (increasing?) financial challenges
“The cultural sector cares about authenticity” = “Tourism doesn’t”

Exercise 1: a rich map Draw ‘yourself’ in the middle of a sheet of paper with 4 segments - cultural, economic, social and environmental List the organisations in each segment - from the most significant in the centre to the least at the outer edge Don’t forget charities, trusts, volunteer groups…
Exercise 2: what do you do? So your library/gallery/museum is a …?
So a prison is a….? Criminal rehabilitating organisation University for Crime Beneficiary producing organisation
Exercise 3: Draw a picture of your organisation Test your existing vision/mission by getting staff to draw a picture of what it says about: • Your relationship with customers • What you do • How you do it Do the same exercise with 1-2 other organisations’ vision/mission statements
we work in creative partnerships with producers, supporters and communities to develop and deliver innovative arts and cultural programmes which engage our customers in experiences relevant to their cultural needs, interests and values The Dowse, 2000
A rich map - continued Mark the primary and potential connections between existingkey organisations and others Highlight potential key partners Next steps: do rich maps with key partners in the centre
Exercise 4 : Soapbox • Community newspaper article or short speech to Rotary – 200 words or 3-5 minutes • An innovative, engaging and surprising take on: • Who you are • What you do and why does it matter? • How you can deliver value (to partners & the community)
Think about…… What does your community care about? What else could you do to build your community and it’s capabilities? Can you build support around a renewed sense of your role and potential? Who could you work with to achieve bigger goals?
Exercise 5 – A positive spin • Select one project and develop three pitches: • To local or national government • To a ‘youth education’ trust • To a local fourth generation family-owned local business OR any other agency of your choice MAKE SURE ONE IS AN UNLIKELY MATCH
Putting yourselves in their shoes Research Meet – informally and formally Listen openly – its all about them first …. andthen you Think and speak in win-win terms Think about 3rd parties
The sweet spot • Think about who you are presenting to: • How do the understand the world? • What language do they speak? • How will the decision be made? • What do they want/need to hear? • Who do they think you are? ALWAYS CUSTOMISE EVERY COMMUNICATION
Exercise 6: A partnership proposal • Lead the development of values-based objectives • Tease out contributions and expectations • Measure success ALWAYS UNDER PROMISE AND OVER DELIVER
Managing the relationship Who will manage the day-to-day issues? Who manages it if it goes wrong? Regular reviews – by who, and when?
Measuring success Set realistic milestones & targets You need to help them understand where value may lie for them Focus on securing long-term partnership ‘under promise / over deliver’
Exercise 7 – an unlikely partner? • Based on the rich map choose a ‘high value but unlikely’ organisation: • Brainstorm what shared objectives you could establish (be lateral) • List the places you can meet / network with them • Trace and list any connections (however intangible) between them and you
Summary The 21st century will be about collaboration and partnerships For this to work we need to find fresh ways of thinking who we are and what we can offer Relationship management should be seen as a second-nature core competency
