TRANSCRIPT
Choosing a partnership structure
Audience Smaller organisations exploring which kind of partnership structure is most appropriate for a particular collaborative business opportunity.
Purpose To help smaller organisations:Evaluate the collaborative models outlined in 1b (What does working in partnership mean?) through practical exercises with colleagues or potential partners.Start to plan in more detail the steps required to develop the most appropriate model for their particular circumstances.
Intended outcomes
Smaller organisations:Have a clearer understanding of which kind of partnership structure may be most appropriate for their particular business opportunity (through support from an external facilitator).
This workshop is designed to be a facilitated service – an activity that supports frontline organisations in developing partnerships, which is typically delivered by an independent facilitator rather than by the frontline organisations themselves.The facilitator in this case is likely to be either the commissioning body (a clinical commissioning group or local authority) or a support/development organisation.If you are interested in Voscur facilitating this kind of workshop for you, contact Voscur:0117 909 9949 | www.voscur.org | [email protected]
