New release!
Cross-sector collaborations are at the core of addressing societal needs, planning and implementing complex projects and programmes and informing decision-making in today’s society. Building skills for working across sectors is not a luxury – it is a necessity.
In the book “Compass Guide: Secrets of Successful Cross-Sector Collaborations”, Dr Sandra Mandic draws on her experience of successfully initiating, growing, leading and managing the award-winning BEATS Research Programme between 2013 and 2023, and presents a framework for planning and managing cross-sector collaborations.
This book integrates key elements of cross-sector collaborations and existing literature across multiple fields (organisational and team management, project management, interdisciplinary research and cross-sector collaboration frameworks). The final chapter offers reflections on various aspects of the BEATS Research Programme in comparison to the existing knowledge and best practice.
This book translates experience-based, often tacit knowledge into practical insights.
Enjoy learning about the secrets of establishing and leading successful cross-sector collaborations and unlocking the power of such endeavours.
