The Development of a Partnering ArrangementPartnering is more than just agreeing to work closely together. Its aim should be to create a synergistic relationship, bound by formal arrangements or agreements, that will enable outcomes which could not otherwise be achieved.
The COMMIT© model covers the key elements of a Partnering Arrangement. This is not just a piece of paper, but should be regarded as an ongoing process. Flowing from the outputs, objectives and commitments is a dynamic performance management system under joint governance. The establishment and sustainment of mutual objectives is key. A true test of partnering is the ability of each party to acknowledge and demonstrate that their partner’s objectives are as important to them as their own. |
