A working relationship that aims to achieve shared/common goals as well as individual objectives
It combines diverse resources/skills/perspectives
Diversities will lead to differences in opinions
Working through these differences may involve disagreements
Conflicts in partnerships may be reframed as a process of co- evolution that can innovate and transform
‘Control’ is reframed as mutual accountability and commitment, with partners leading on aspects they are best suited to do so.

LEVEL 2
INFLUENCING INDIVIDUALS, ORGANISATIONS & SYSTEMS
However, ‘Level 1’ projects when they work well inevitably impact and influence more widely and deeply
LEVEL 1
PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS TO CHALLENGES
Most partnerships operate at this practical level as grass roots, co-created and delivered collaborative projects
