There are many ways that different organisations can work together when collaborating.
Choosing the best way to work together: from Networking to partnership is an overview of the most common ways we see services coming together – including networking, cooperation, coordination and partnership.
While no one way of working is inherently better than others, they each require a different level of investment. Generally, the deeper-rooted, more complex and widespread the challenge is, the more extensive inter-organisational engagement it takes to meet it.
This tool is designed to help you identify which method of working together is best for your context in responding to the challenge or opportunity happening in your community, and the change you’d like to see coming out of your work.
