By H Russell.This practical report identifies lessons for good practice which have influenced Local Strategic Partnerships. It focuses on the structures and processes of strategic partnerships seen in the context of change management, and on the need to combine an action-oriented approach with appropriate reflective processes. Using case study examples, the report demonstrates what works in effective strategic partnerships and highlights the implications for partner organisations and the role of government.
