Partnership Away-Day

  • Organisation: Partnership
  • Sectors: Not-for-Profit, Public Sector

Maine Associates was approached by the Chair of a newly formed partnership consisting of businesses, local government stakeholders and voluntary sector organisations.

Having recently been established, the partnership wanted to run an away-day to work on developing and agreeing a set of shared value, behavioural norms and prioritised activities. The group was very much as the “storming” stage of team development, requiring an approach that allowed open and honest sharing of views whilst ensuring the agenda kept on track.

Our Approach:
  • Consultative Design: We worked closely with the partnership Chair as well as key stakeholders to ensure the day delivered on specific outcomes whilst allowing enough time and flexibility to hear everyone’s voice.
  • Facilitated Away-Day: Conducted a full-day session exploring the shared mission, principals of working and prioritised activities for the partnership to deliver.
The Result:

The Away-Day was successful in bringing everyone together and aligning around a common mission statement and programme of future activities. Maine Associates was retained to run further sessions with the partnership, having established a trusted working relationship with the group.
