Many complex problems have several different yet related causes and effects – with several organisations from different sectors trying to solve things individually. With many organisations having limited resources, forming partnerships is a good approach to not only increase capability, but also your reach. Partnerships help build a common understanding, and harness the knowledge which might be spread across various different perspectives.
Building partnerships takes a lot of effort from all those involved. They often take a considerable investment of time to build the high quality working relationships that underpin effective collaboration. The Building Partnerships Map breaks the process into steps, so you can anticipate difficulties and challenges ahead.

This map is great to organize my action steps to identifying and reaching out to potential partners. It is a good tool to make me feel prepared to reach out without worrying I am not going about it the right way. However, I would have enjoyed this more if there were more specific steps in terms of methods of contac (email, phone, schedule meeting, etc) and even templates for these emails or “elevator pitches”. Thank you.

Building partnerships takes a lot of effort from all those involved that is really true because i have also a experience from my work that this is really hard job to build partnership. I am working for my organization from 16 years and got to know every time that is hard work building relationship and partnership

I love partnering with other organizations that have some similar quest as ours. Everyone brings something to the table so it’s a win win. The map is a nice tool to help you achieve more with other partners. And helps put things in perspective to see where you are and where you can be.

We work today with this tool in a multidisciplinary reunion with the same objetive, and It was really helpful to engage the participants and to compromise with precise activities. We are goin to make our best effort to get to “implementing” the final product.

Building Partnerships Map is smart way to reach the goals of organization. It is very important to think about the steps that include this process: communication, personal connection, sharing experience and ideas, and thing about planning and management system in whole. I enjoy presentation, professional development, community events, and conferences that help to build our partnerships map. Our supporters and volunteers are so helpful in it during our Family Days, and Parent Conferences.
