Module 3 – Designing Business Models for Social Impact
Now it's your turn to build your partnership strategy.
Strong social enterprises rarely succeed alone. Partnerships can provide knowledge, networks, funding, expertise, credibility, or access to the communities you want to serve.
Take a few minutes to think about the people and organisations that could help your idea grow.
Reflection Questions
1. Identify three potential partners
These could be organisations, businesses, public institutions, NGOs, community groups, universities, or other stakeholders that could support your venture.
2. What could each partner contribute?
Consider what resources, expertise, networks, funding, or other forms of support they might provide.
3. What value could your venture offer in return?
Successful partnerships create value for everyone involved. Think about how your organisation could contribute to each partnership.
Reflection
Partnerships are built on shared goals and mutual benefit. As your venture develops, your network of partners will likely grow and evolve, helping you increase both your impact and your long-term sustainability.
