Decision-making decentralized
Ownership and expertise distributed across multiple actors
Firmly controlled & planned

Effectiveness linked to concrete outputs
Proprietary information & learning
Decision making concentrated in one organization
Ownership by single, “expert” actor

There are challenges
• It’s hard to “see” the whole system. How to know what’s needed/what’s working?
• It’s time-consuming work. What role(s) should funders play?
• There are lots of players involved. Where does accountability lie?
• It requires spreading control & leadership. What if results are different than original intentions?

Yet, there IS an emerging practice
KNOW THE NETWORK
Map the issue, stakeholders, existing connections
ORGANIZE THE NETWORK
Begin to work together; pilot strategies
If needed, establish shared structures & procedures (e.g., norms of engagement)
Develop systems for ongoing learning & adaptation
KNIT THE NETWORK
Connect & engage stakeholders Nurture network stewards / leaders Define & create different entry points to
the network, reflecting a range of interests
TRANSITION THE NETWORK
Evaluate network effectiveness & impact
If transforming: define/redefine network value propositions
If transitioning: distribute re-usable assets (including knowledge)
GROW THE NETWORK
Grow & diversity network participation Build enduring trust & connectivity Decentralize network functions Spread, deepen, diversify network strategies
