Partnership Support Tools
Practical frameworks for every stage of the partnership lifecycle.
From scoping and negotiation through to review and close, each tool below supports a specific step of the partnering process. Each one is available as a free PDF download.
Stakeholder Mapping
Use early in the scoping phase to identify the organisations and individuals a potential partnership needs to engage. A systematic way to surface every interested party and the role each might play.
Partnering Agreement Template
A co-created agreement template — not one imposed by a single partner. Use it to check that your partnering agreement contains every element needed to set the collaboration up for success.
Internal Prospective Partnership Assessment
Use during scoping and building to assess the value, risks, and implications of a potential partnership and inform a confident go / no-go decision.
Value Assessment Framework
Use during the building phase and throughout the partnership lifecycle to systematically assess what value is being created, and at what cost.
Troubleshooting
Support for partners working through internal partnering challenges, applicable across every phase of the partnership.
Managing Power Imbalances
Helps partners acknowledge, identify, and explore sources of power, and design mechanisms to address problematic imbalances.
Partnership Health Check
Monitor the health of a partnership's setup, operation, and processes — with indicators of good health and a suggested review workshop format.
