PARTNERSHIPS
Government cuts, funding shortfalls and the
Olympics factor means you have to be ever more resourceful to keep the money
coming in. Many organisations have already demonstrated great skill and
creativity in coming up with innovative, interdisciplinary partnerships, to
help them achieve greater impact and make their resources go further. You probably
know your discipline and sector really well, but what about those other sectors
and disciplines that you could be partnering with? What happens when you need
to step outside those familiar boundaries? Finding the RIGHT partner to work
with can be frustrating, expensive and time consuming. Managing partners’
expectations, maintaining a harmonious and cohesive relationship and sharing
risks and rewards can bring additional problems. You need to find partners who:
·
Work at the right level to suit your needs
– local, regional, national or international
·
Are effective and respected
·
Are on a sound financial footing
·
Can add value and bring additional
resources (including funding)

We have worked with clients in most of
these disciplines. We have also initiated and managed successful, complex
partnerships with organisations from a variety of these disciplines, working
across the public, private and voluntary sectors, both within the UK and
internationally. On one project in Hampshire, we managed the development of an
interdisciplinary, multi-sector partnership, with fourteen partners
representing community, biodiversity, tourism, traffic management and a host of
other interests.
Our Partnermatch service can help you find
and establish successful partnerships with the right organisations.
Our databases contain details of over 1500
second tier and umbrella membership organisations that can lead you quickly to
many thousands of potential partners. They also contain other sources of
independent advice, market intelligence and relevant policy information. We
guarantee to check out leads before we pass them on to you. We take time to
ensure that the organisations we recommend are right for you and are willing,
in principle at least, to work in partnership with you. We give you a named
contact to follow up. Most importantly, you retain anonymity until you approach
them directly. We take the uncertainty out of finding the right organisations
to work with and help you build a lasting relationship. Call us to find out how
we can help you find the right partner.
