30 years of experience developing cross-sectoral networks
We actively weave networks
We encourage the
development of a ‘network mindset’

What do you want to learn? Take the poll!
My primary reason for participating today is to learn how to…
1. PLAN—why networks are key to collaborations and partnerships
2. MEASURE—how networks can be measured
3. BUILD—how to grow and nurture an existing network
4. ALL OF THE ABOVE!

PLAN The foundation of almost all networks is: • the structure of relationships between actors (individuals and organizations) • the meaning of those relationships. Trust is …the lubricant that makes cooperation possible.

“(Networks) establish the infrastructure of processes, information, people, and relationships needed to create synergies across multiple organizations, and across wide geographic areas.

People and organizations are being asked to
partner, collaborate and integrate across sectors
Complex issues require a different set of working relationships
Relationships are the key to the success of your intersectoral work
Why networks are so important today

What are complex problems?

Assumption
Large scale system or behaviour change comes from better cross-sectoral collaborations than from the isolated interventions of individual organizations.

Organizations Hierarchical structure
Knowledge contained within the organization
Set outcomes and linear tracking
Leader designates jobs and roles
Networks Peer based relationships
Different perspectives to be sufficiently innovative
Act on opportunities that arise
Leader catalyzes, connects & facilitates

Messy evaluations
Used to evaluations that focus and single out ‘isolated impact’
• that will affect behaviour change Traditional Approaches • Formative- process (can it be standardized?) • Summative-outcomes (did it work? Can it be
expanded?)

We all bring something to the table
• Support, encourage and mentor network leaders in the community
• Coordinate meetings, community events or informal opportunities for people to connect
• Set up communication systems for the network (social media, email lists)
• Help identify challenges and introduce people to others who can help
