Strengthening goals through collaboration
Our Focus
The approach we take to inspiring collaborations is holistic and conducive to supporting cooperative work. We know that individuals and organizations work within the framework of the whole and that achieving success is integrated and a part of a system. By collaborating with other like-minded organizations, non-profits have a higher probability of success.
Our focus is on fostering net-centric leadership, strengthening relationships, building shared infrastructure, and helping leaders and their staff to become comfortable with the complexity and ambiguity that naturally occurs with such a system. Through this work, sustainable partnerships can be formed.
Our Programs
We offer the downloadable Working Together Toolkit that provides tools, insights, and guidance on creating healthy, cooperative collaboration, how to take proper assessments, and building a balanced structure.
We also provide a free, downloadable publication called Creating an Environment for Success: Mergers and Other Partnership Structures for Environmental Nonprofits. This publication shares four success stories that demonstrate different types of partnership models and successful actions.
Finally, we offer additional customized guidance on topics such as leadership, benchmarking, and fundraising specific to coalitions and networks. This guidance comes in the form of customized training, consulting, coaching, facilitation, and our Vision to Impact workshop. We also can facilitate a customized workshop at your next conference or network meeting.
