If you pay attention to the Living Cities Catalyst Blog or our Twitter feed, you might have noticed that over the last few months, we’ve been sharing a lot of what we’re learning about building high-performing cross-sector partnerships. These blog posts (and associated framing papers, case studies, and infographics) have explored a bunch of questions including:
How do you Build the “right” Cross-Sector Partnership to Achieve Your Goals?
How do you Build the “Right\“ Cross-Sector Partnership to do Collective Impact?
Now we’re building off this learning, and trying to develop some tools that cross-sector partnerships can use to better understand their own structures and behaviors. In service of this, we’re looking for representatives (staff, participants, funders) of 5-10 cross-sector partnerships who are interested in being Beta Testers for our online assessment tool.
What does being a beta tester entail?
You are currently involved in a cross-sector partnership as a staff member, participant, or funder.
Completing an online assessment about your cross-sector partnership.
Reviewing the findings from your online assessment and noting your feedback and questions on the usefulness of the information you received.
Doing a follow-up survey and/or interview with Living Cities about the assessment and its findings and how they can be made more useful.
Interested in assessing your cross-sector partnership through the framework and helping build useful tools for others? Contact Alison Gold at agold@livingcities.org.
