The most effective connections for NPOs and NGOs to make are also
often the most frustrating.
In her unique guide, “Alliances, Coalitions and
Partnerships: Building Collaborative Organizations,” author Joan Roberts
provides a step-by-step understanding of how to create effective
collaborations, alliances and partnerships with outside agencies and
organizations.
Increasingly, NPOs and NGOs are asked to join
forces with other groups and multi-stakeholder processes are recognized
as crucial to public acceptance and funding.
Joan Roberts' book is not only an essential tool for NPOs and NGOs, it is the only book with her unique guide.
Michael Gilbert the author of a U.S. based
non-profit newsletter wrote:
“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.
“She looks closely both at concrete models and
systems of inter- organizational collaboration, as well as the tools and
capacities needed within an organization 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.”
Joan Roberts is an award-winning organizational
development consultant who provides training workshops on governance and
community development. She has over 20 years experience of designing and
facilitating multi-stakeholder processes in housing, health promotion,
