Partnering, alliancing and co-governance

Engagement practice continues to professionalise in our Australasian context. It has emerged from the fields of public participation and project management and is becoming increasingly valued. It integrates with aligned fields including communications, public relations, marketing, planning and evaluation. Due to significant drivers of change over recent years, many organisations are facing an increasing need to collaborate. This includes partnering, alliancing and co-governance approaches. Having a quality engagement approach produces clear benefits for organisations and communities. It is one of the best risk management mitigations you can apply to both external and internal organisational engagement.
