Resources<br />

Chapter7<br />

Resources are essential. The most obvious<br />

resources are funding, people, and physical<br />

assets, such as property and equipment. But<br />

given a dynamic economic and social<br />

environment, they increasingly are<br />

intangible—time, intellectual property,<br />

information, access, relationships, and<br />

community support. A high-performance<br />

partnership must obtain adequate resources to<br />

achieve its mission. Generally, the broader the<br />

resource base, the more stable the partnership.<br />

Conversely, partnerships dependent on a<br />

single funding source are vulnerable to that<br />

funder’s stability and influence.
