John R. Butcher and David J. Gilchrist investigate what makes collaboration work across government, business and not-for-profit organisations. Drawing on field research, the book follows the relationships, decisions and organisational conditions involved in efforts to address problems that cross institutional boundaries.
The discussion considers leadership, trust, authority, governance arrangements, community participation and ways to judge progress. Examples from practitioners illuminate the difficulty of turning shared intentions into sustained action. The concluding guidance brings the findings together for people designing or managing collaborations, with particular attention to practical authority, accountability and the consent of affected communities.
