Hi Steve, I guess the first thing to ask is what were the aims of the partnership, and critique them.

Steve, from my experience all partnerships have a list of common aims sometimes presented as their mission statement but often just common goals on a sheet of A4/A3 paper with signatures of the parties to the partnership.

As Mike suggests, a review/critique of these and whether the partnership is actually achieving/delivering on those goals is a pretty good place to start.

Hi Steve, I agre it is a good place to start with what they have in common but important to understand if they have identified their differences and if these will be in conflict with partnership working. Unless the differences are out on the table to start I think partnerships have a big struggle to acheive the objectives. I am  not certain this is done at the beginning of the development of the partnership.
