What Could Go Wrong…and What Went Right

Keep in Mind…
Things don’t always go according to plan.
Before You Start•Does this support our mission?
•Are we stepping on toes?
•Can we follow through on everything we’ve promised?
•Build in a stopping point.
Managing Expectations
Is everyone on the same page?
Evaluation and Feedback
•At the end of the trial period, evaluate the situation.
•Do you need to renegotiate?
•It’s easier to extend a good partnership than cut off a bad one.
Don’t Stop There!
How can you build on your success?
Time for Questions•What partnerships have worked well for you?
•What have you learned from them?
Thank You!
