    Partnership Strategy & Facilitation

    You have ambitious impact and sustainability goals. Now you need the right partners — and a credible plan to reach them.

    The challenges facing us are too ingrained and systemic for any organization to solve alone.  Yet, there is a wide gulf between acknowledging the need for partners and building relationships that drive change.  Many organizations receive a partnership mandate and face pressure to "crowd-in" funding without a roadmap to get there. They need to understand which partners to pursue, objectives to align on, and how to structure collaboration across sectors that speak different languages. 

    We help organizations turn partnership ambition into a focused, achievable strategy, and then build the relationships to make it real. Sustainability leads who need a partnership roadmap, funders designing new collaborative initiatives, and development organizations looking to expand their private sector engagement —  we can help you get started. We map where you want to go, and we'll be by your side to get there.

    Focusing Your Partnership Approach

    We help define and prioritize the challenges you need to solve, identify opportunities for partnership launch, and align them to organizational KPIs and targets. You need to know the resources you bring to a potential partnership, and the critical gaps partners can fill. We conduct rigorous, tailored landscape analyses to map the ecosystem of potential partners, identify white spaces, and surface opportunities others miss. You come away with a clear picture of where collaboration can create the most value.

    Brokering & Co-Design Facilitation

    Finding the right partner is only half the challenge. We act as an objective, trusted broker that can make cross-sector introductions, build early trust, and facilitate co-design conversations that lay the foundation for durable collaboration. We speak both P&L and development language fluently, serving as a translator to build bridges create partnerships.

    Securing Internal Buy-In

    Internal buy-in can make or break a partnership. We'll help you communicate effectively with key decision-makers and teams within your own organization to inform and co-create partnership strategy, cultivate internal champions, and align partnerships to core organizational goals.

    Theory of Change & Strategy Development

    We support your team to build and refine a theory of change that connects your business objectives to sustainability outcomes. This serves as a framework to guide decisions, aligns leadership, and communicates your vision to potential partners.

    “Resonance didn't simply advise; their team developed a partnership strategy with us and designed a comprehensive roadmap and toolkit to operationalize and drive greater impact.”
