Partner Driver<br />
This driver examines the organization’s relationships with other<br />
organizations, institutions or stakeholders that are critical to meeting<br />
strategic objectives.<br />
What is the issue?<br />
A survey of <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Unit</strong> partners conducted for program review found that<br />
96.5% of partners felt that the current partnerships were “very effective” or<br />
“somewhat effective”; 82.1% were very interested in working with the <strong>Health</strong><br />
<strong>Unit</strong>; <strong>and</strong> 8.5% felt that there was some duplication, but most felt this was<br />
necessary (25). The Organizational St<strong>and</strong>ards have identified stakeholder<br />
engagement <strong>and</strong> collaborative partnerships as requirements <strong>and</strong> the<br />
<strong>Health</strong> <strong>Unit</strong> need to develop a formal strategy to enhance collaboration <strong>and</strong><br />
communication with partners.<br />
Goal:<br />
Increased community capacity through strategically aligned collaborative<br />
partnerships.<br />
Strategy:<br />
Develop <strong>and</strong> implement a Stakeholder/Partner Engagement<br />
strategy, including the development of organizational criteria <strong>and</strong><br />
processes for the participation in partnerships.<br />
