Why you signed up?	What you are hoping to get out of the CoP?	How you currently use your partnership brokering skills?	Which parts of the partnering cycle you are working in on any given day?
PBA training was helpful but wanted more support and information in the area of PB. Training was so long ago Improve skills and strengthen in gap areas. Draw on skills and continue to improve Ask questions to more experienced people. Strategic partnerships Not currently part of something that keeps activities relevant Wanting to revisit and refresh Partnerships are important Working out how to put training into practice Practical application Learning from others Understand other organization structures Using framework to frame and name what we do Help identify what partnerships are most important How to revive long-standing “partnerships” Standardized process across the organization How to enter into pre-existing partnerships, tap into pre-exiting services Meeting charter, agenda Shared language- develop Examples of how others balance power dynamics Managing expectations	Learn best from other experiences and examples. Tell stories, bounce ideas Solve problems Learn how to be a broker in an internal partnership which is different approach to what PBA teaches (impartial PB) How to get shared ownership- purposeful partnerships Build skills to be able to bring people into partnership- share ideas, comfort The ‘how’- putting it into practice Learning and what we can do better next time Connecting with like-minded people wanting to do the same things Partnering vs solution finding (partnering needs practice)	“manage contracts through relationships….. If the relationship is good then you can talk about anything.” Contract management and relationship building How can we work together to find solutions with Partners including: PHN, other providers, NGOs, HHS and others. Getting partners to play well together. Working within a changing environment of people/roles. Don’t use as much because of the problem solving needed across health Only surfaces at certain points depending on relationship Organisations have different focus due to COVID therefore scope of work has changed Use the cycle to depend on system rather than individuals (people moving on from roles constantly)	BS PHN: Scoping and building – Evidence mapping and needs assessments BS PHN: Managing + Maintaining: Long relationships which always need improvement MSH- Scoping and Building , managing and maintaining: growing the network plus keeping people up to date Managing & Maintaining but being brave enough to transition to reviewing and revising Scoping & building – inherited relationships and difficult to determine where the relationship sits in parts of the cycle Moving in the different stages through all times – constant state of fluidity
