Among the elements that have not fully satisfied the expectations we detected: “we saw more about sharing of practices and methodologies, less about tools”; “the knowledge and analysis of the specific methodologies of work needs to be further deepened / clarified”. However, there is another crucial aspect concerning the possibility to replicate the best practices “It would be interesting to be able to replicate good practice in different countries”; “more problematic is the possibility to transfer the best practices to our organisation. The best practices are not stand-alone interventions, but are part of an integral approach and organisational set up. This means copying the best practice is much more difficult and needs more adjustments." The awareness concerning the limit of replicability has allowed to rethinking the initial objectives of the project “Instead of choosing the 2 best practices, we decided to choose a different outcome by using all elements from the best practices and order them”. That solution means that at the end, given the impossibility of completely replicating the good practices in very different organizational contexts it was decided to organize the elements characterizing each good practices, building a guideline able to collect all of them.

9.2 Communication and cooperation

The first question for the members of the project group was to indicate to what extent they agreed or disagreed with the following statements, regarding the internal communication and cooperation among the partners.

After analyzing the general objectives, it is interesting to observe, through the next tables, what emerged from the analysis of data related to the project management and the communication and cooperation between partners. In general, the distribution of the answers given in the following table is shifted towards the positive pole, in fact all the interviewees choose: neither agree or disagree, agree or strongly agree. In particular, the 55% of interviewed agree with the statement: “communicate with partners was easy” and the 36,4% strongly agree. In order to facilitate the communication, the project leader stimulated the use of different IT tools (skype, WhatsApp, a private Facebook group, google Drive for documents sharing, messenger, e-mail and drop box).
