 Customized Workshops
on building Alliances, Coalitions and Partnerships at your location!


 

Michael Gilbert the author of a  non-profit newsletter said in 2006”

“Joan Roberts is a terrifically clear-headed and visionary consultant from  Toronto. Her book-- Alliances, Coalitions, and Partnerships -- is one of the best on the subject of collaboration that I have read. Her strengths include the practicality of her taxonomies and her head-on examination of the topic of power and control. She looks closely both at concrete models and systems of inter- organizational collaboration, as well as the tools and capacities needed with an organization, in order for it to succeed as a collaborator. We need these ideas if we, as a sector, are going to transition successfully into the era of networks.”
