Stakeholder Engagement
Partnering for Social Innovation
A social innovation partnership is a collaboration (the Key Activities) between two or more parties from the civil, private, and/or public sectors (the Key Players) to improve the condition (the Issue to Solve and the Value Proposition) of a target population using the assets and resources of all the parties (the Key Partner Resources) along with other contributions, (the Relationships with Supporters) under a set of specified terms and conditions (the Key Relationships).
ENGAGING CORPORATE PARTNERS
Partner Model Canvas
No one “owns” honeybee pollination
American honeybees are dying at an alarming rate.
Theories abound, but no one knows for sure why.
Pollination = 70% of economic value of bees; 1 in 3 bites of food
relies on bees.
Beekeepers don’t own the land or the crops, flowers, plants, fruits,
vegetables on the land where bees forage for food.
He doesn’t own pollination.
Farmers own the land, but not the upstream means of producing
seeds, pesticides, manures, soil treatments, equipment, etc. Nor
do they own downstream packaging, distribution, retailing,
etc.
She doesn't own pollination
HONEYBEE EXAMPLE
A classic “Problems in the Commons”
Problems in the commons have no one cause, no one solution, and no owner for the cause or the solution.
Strengths over-extended. Specialization unleashed tremendous food production but "orphaned" pollination
Multiple causes. The media and human nature demand single causes and simple answers, but declining honeybee health has multiple causes and solving it requires a broad range of solutions
Right vs. right. Improving honeybee health is in tension with a food system designed to maximize production
Slow burn. Making necessary trade-offs means someone has to take short term pain for long term gain that will probably go to someone else in the supply chain
Adaptive leadership. Even the perfect technical solution will require buy-in across specialists
HONEYBEE EXAMPLE
Principles of Partnership
Good partnerships…Partnerships struggle when
they…
Ground themselves in data Lack data or consensus on the data/causes
Have institutional commitmentHave shaky, short-term, or fuzzy institutional
commitment
Benefit from & build up personal social capital Are one-sided or don’t benefit the people involved
Well understood documentation & governance Lack documentation or governance
Have testable outcomes Rely on politics
Have demonstrable results Have fuzzy objectives
Have an exit strategy Rely purely on largesse
