Our motivation
Humanity faces multiple, complex and urgent challenges, including structural inequity and ecological breakdown. We need to transform the behaviours and systems that reinforce these challenges. We can only achieve this if we challenge our thinking and scale our capacity for courageous, contextual and culturally appropriate collaborative action.
The stand we take
We envision a world where humanity flourishes in diverse, fair and healthy societies, because people everywhere are actively engaged in, and able to shape, courageous, collaborative, transformative action.
Our purpose…
… is to explore, exchange and promote excellence and leadership in partnering practices that accelerate transformative shifts in behaviours and systems, to create more just and sustainable societies
To support our purpose, we work in the following ways:
Connecting
Connecting practitioners, advocates and partnerships across the globe so they can work across boundaries to transform our world through collaborative action
Strengthening
Strengthening practice by building capability and confidence through training, mentoring & assisting individuals, organisations & partnerships. This is founded on standards of excellence that are appropriate for different contexts and cultures
Learning
Learning and sharing emerging knowledge from partnering experiences through practice-based enquiry and powerful stories of change
Amplifying
Amplifying the case for partnership process management (partnership brokering) as a necessary component of transformational collaboration, and building recognition of this professional field
