COLLABORATION

We believe that partnerships are most impactful when rooted in shared goals and decision-making.

Clarity

Partners should work together to align and set goals so that benefits are mutual. Before you begin, make sure there is clarity of purpose by understanding the “why” of your work. Determine clear, realistic, and attainable expectations between everyone involved which cover the entirety of your time in collaboration. Plan for regular checkpoints to assure continued clarity and realign expectations as needed.

Ask Yourself:

How will I set up regular check-ins to request and offer feedback on the progress of the engagement?

In what ways will the collaboration be assessed and evaluated?

Why did I choose this work? Why this engagement?

Is someone else already doing this?

Is there another organization or partnership better equipped to implement?
