New Tool Book for Partnership Practitioners
New Tool Book for Partnership Practitioners Under Development
The next in the series of Toolbooks (see PUBLICATIONS) is entitled FIT FOR PURPOSE: Building Institutional Capacity for Partnership. It is being written with my colleague Rafal Serafin and a number of other practitioners with whom we have worked over many years in different parts of the world.
Partnership practitioners regularly report that one of the most challenging aspects of cross-sector partnering (perhaps, surprisingly) is that of engaging their own organisations as genuine and enthusiastic partners. But this is not the only ‘institutional’ challenge of partnership as a sustainable development paradigm – sometimes it becomes necessary to create a new ‘institution’ to implement programmes medium to long term. This tookbook will address both these issues and more in a practical, user-friendly way.
The book will be published by the International Business Leaders Forum in December 2008… and we welcome ideas or possible collaboration. Please contact: emily.wood@iblf.org if you would like to know more.
