Putting Pen to Paper (pdf 1.56mb)

2006
The first publication in the Putting Pen to Paper series produced by The Department of Internal Affairs, in co-operation with Waitakere City Council. It focuses specifically on the development of partnership agreements.

Putting Pen to Paper guides those entering into new multiparty relationships and highlights some of the challenges and opportunities in developing and implementing partnering agreements in New Zealand. While the focus is on interagency working between central and local government, many of the principles will apply more widely.

The second publication in the Putting Pen to Paper series, Putting Pen to Paper: Profiles is a collection of actual partnering agreements, and an in-depth look at the process of reaching them. The 11 case studies detail

• the background and benefits of the partnering agreements
• how the agreements were developed and what helped or hindered the process
• what has happened since the agreements were signed
• advice for others embarking on collaboration.

Putting Pen to Paper: Profiles gives examples of partnering agreements from all over New Zealand and from a range of organisations. Key themes are identified, to serve as a reminder of what really matters for partnering agreements to succeed.
