Collaboration

Hidden Regional Resources

Finding the regional resources you might not know you have

Key Points

• Greater focusing on key resources can have a large impact on the community.
• For groups that are too small to get traction on their own, a collaborative approach can be beneficial.
• Clusters provide a very useful vehicle for groups to collectively look at the future - especially when individual groups consist of a collection of disparate individuals.
• Look carefully at the resource and the problem - neither may be the true problem or real resource.
• In New Zealand, while some resources may be very small they can have a big impact and potential.
• View your resources on a national scale as well as locally. Select projects that are relevant to national priorities - there may be more funding options.
• Pay attention to the accountability of a project.
• When planning a project, start with the end in mind and determine how the project can be self-sustaining and identify what succession planning needs to happen.
• Identify what strategic relationships you can develop.
