2.9 - Beyond Collaboration: Deconstructing Strategic Partnerships
Strategic partnerships aren’t built by chance - they’re engineered. In this session, Sarah Markey-Hamm and Stephen Noble unpack what truly elevates a partnership from tactical cooperation to long-term strategic value. You’ll learn how to assess partnership potential, identify shared goals, and unlock synergies that create outcomes neither organisation could achieve alone. We’ll also explore non-traditional approaches that leverage complementary strengths, spark innovation, and build competitive advantage. Attendees will leave with a practical framework to design partnerships that deliver meaningful impact for their organisation and community.
