The Center’s Corporate-Community Partnerships: What Makes Them Work, Why They Fail explores what it means to be a part of a cross-sector partnership. The program looks at different partnership models, identifying appropriate partners, and developing a shared vision with those partners. It uses case-studies, group problem-solving exercises, peer coaching and guest speakers to help business professionals learn to develop and manage a true partnership, and improve relationships with key stakeholders. It is appropriate for managers from corporate and field locations involved with sustained, collaborative partnerships with advocacy groups, fenceline neighbors, citizen groups, service agencies and governments.
