COLLABORATIVE MANAGEMENT OF MULTI-AGENCY PROGRAMS
S4S Solutions Inc. www.S4S.com
• New multi-agency programs address
complicated environmental problems that involve many stakeholders over a long time. • Many local projects have to be
aligned and integrated to address watershed/coastal-zone goals. • Program plans and operations
should be community-led, transparent, and independent. • Continued funding requires showing
progress toward goals that might take decades to attain.
SOLUTION • Multi-agency programs can
collaborate efficiently by using a web2.0 workspace. • New ideas such as ecosystem-based
management can be implemented as collaborative processes. • The accumulated knowledge and
processes of a program can be maintained despite turnover of people.
VISION • The passion of an engaged
community can be transformed into organized actions by access to new tools for sharing knowledge and work. • A community can write a inspiring
story about the future of their place, catalyzing the changes needed to make that story become true. They just need the right tools.
