Partnering Strategy Business

Partnering is a critical success factor of the GSN. The RSNs are the catalytic agents by which the GSC can most effectively impact change among CTLCs on the local level. Because of their close relationship with the local level, RSNs are best positioned to deliver capacity building services and content to local CTLCs. The GSC will provide services to RSNs that will enable them to deliver better support to local CTLCs.

GSC staff will identify and partner with appropriate existing RSNs of CTLCs. Where no RSNs exist, GSC staff will identify and support regional or national CTLC leaders and entrepreneurs in order to form new networks. An 8 to 12 month partnering process will be undertaken to cultivate regional partnerships and GSC staff will assess potential partners according to a set of partnering criteria which includes a business planning process to develop a strategic plan for sustainability.

As GSC partners, RSNs have the opportunity to receive grants based on their approved business plan. Grants will be disseminated to the RSNs directly by GSN funding organization partners, but the GSC will coordinate the grant giving process. The amount of each RSN grant will be dependent upon RSN needs and funding availability.

However, they are magnified in both degree and kind when an entire society is making a rapid evolution toward a market economy.
