12 keys to a nonprofit collaboration process

To collaborate with other nonprofits, our strategic alignment collaboration model outlines the key elements for leadership to integrate internal purpose with external partners. To collaborate with others effectively, you will need a clear internal plan for your organization that states the basis for your need to collaborate and the types of organizations and programs you want to collaborate with. Without that, it will be difficult to have expectations of partners if your own house isn't in order. Next, build your leadership and collaboration skills: authentic communication, conflict resolution, critical thinking, running effective meetings, accountability and measures, and project management. Finally, identify partners and complete the steps of a structured partner plan to build collaborative programming and projects.

Place and space matter

Recently we came to understand “Placemaking” and how it is the process by which we have been engaging in the completion of community projects. In recent years, we have completed several private-public projects that have involved community input and engagement during the stages of conceptualization, planning, design, investment, construction, development, and evaluation to assure that spaces fully engage their constituents.

Private public leadership provides prosperity

Private and public leadership must organize and collaborate to successfully turnaround a neighborhood. Together, they must be facilitated to lead through the complexities of transforming each neighborhood within a city, especially to the point that most cities need to be transformed.
