Use 'insider/outsider teams' to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of your partnership
When
evaluating the processes and results of a partnership and seeking to improve them, it is important to be open to differing and challenging opinions about what
is or is not effective.
One
simple approach that encourages such openness is the use of insider/outsider teams. An
insider/outsider team consists of at least two people. One person comes from within the
partnership being evaluated and the other comes from outside of it, perhaps from another partnership or organisation that is doing similar work. Both people work together to analyse
and evaluate the work of the partnership, acknowledging and using the differing
perspectives they bring to the task.
Obviously,
the evaluation could be reciprocal, the two people swapping insider/outsider
roles and evaluating each other’s organisations or partnerships.
