This book focuses on the processes, protocols, and incentives needed for successful collaborative endeavors. Moving beyond new public governance theories and the limits of new public management, Chandler uniquely focuses on the facilitative skills and tools that members and facilitators need for success in collaborative work.

Additional text

"Chandler… builds bridges between collaboration research and on-the-ground practice. If you are an academic, you can follow the research trails and see what still needs fresh investigation. If you are a convener or facilitator, especially in the tradition of Donald Schon’s ‘reflective practitioner’, you will find insights that will turbo-charge your work. Read it, use it, and improve public administration at a time when improvement is very much needed." – Peter S. Adler, The ACCORD 3.0 Network, USA
