Abstract: In recent years, everyone in government has been talking about partnerships. Every initiative, every new target seems to require a new partnership. Collaboration has become an accepted way of working. And yet, almost everyone agrees that the rhetoric has outstripped the reality. While there have been real partnership success stories, almost every senior manager or politician has a story to tell about spending unproductive hours in tedious, directionless partnership meetings. Are partnerships really necessary? And if so, how do we make them more effective?
