we help organisations build partnerships and measure their success.
Using the Collaboration Rubric® we offer you a practical way of assessing where your partnership is now, where you want to be, and what actions you need to take to get there.
The Rubric ® enables you to build a roadmap to plan and monitor collaboration in your organisation. Using your choice of structured surveys, you will see the strengths and weaknesses of partnerships mapped out for you. Clear, simple reports give you recommendations for action and a way of demonstrating your success to funders and supporters.
OUR SYSTEM ALLOWS YOU TO:
Plan and monitor collaboration between individuals, teams and organisations
Identify the strengths and resolve the weaknesses in your partnerships
Monitor your success and report on outcomes in simple, measurable ways
Analyse your collaborations in depth
Review and create solutions specifically for your organisation
Whether you are building partnerships between organisations or within your own organisation, the Collaboration Rubric® can transform the way you and your networks work together. It provides a pathway to success, a structured way for thinking things through that encourages reflection and continuous improvement.

Who can benefit from using the collaboration rubric®
The Collaboration Rubric® can be used by any partnership, large or small, at any stage in the development of their collaboration. Whether you are a small two-person team in the early stages of defining your shared goals, or a multiagency team of 1000 who have been trying to achieve a shared outcome for years, the collaboration rubric can help you achieve your goals.
The Collaboration Rubric® was developed over many projects across different organisational contexts, including Income Security, Education, Health Services, Child Protection, Family Support, Juvenile Justice, Employment, Family Relationships, Family Law. It is based on current research and backed up by real world experience.
