Wisconsin Partners and member groups use a model that combines asset-based community development, the broad-based relational model, and our own wisdom from years of experience.

​

We all know the value of working together to address root causes, but how do we really do it?

​

We can offer interactive workshops and facilitation ranging from 45 minutes to a full day, on the following topics:

​

• Asset-Based Cooperation - Practices that transform an organization or group away from competition, isolation, and disempowerment - and towards an environment where everyone has voice and influence, and poised for effective, powerful impact.

• Effective one-on-ones - One-on-one meetings are a core practice. We can offer tips and practice space making this time as effective as possible. How do we build trust and get to the root of mutual self-interest with someone else?

• Team building for collective action - We know we need to work together to solve "wicked" problems - but that can be easier said that done. Collaboration takes practice and intention, and we can offer support and training for your team.

• Asset-mapping and power-mapping - Ready to take action? We can guide you through Asset-Mapping, which helps identifies the strengths and resources available to you, and Power-Mapping, which helps understand who has influence and power in a situation, and how to strategically connect with those people.

• Depolarization for community action - We believe that every person in the community has something to offer, and we want everyone to be involved. This means we are working across political divides on a regular basis. We can offer depolarizing workshops to help you and your team collaborate in the midst of polarization.

• Building relationships across sectors, perspectives, and regions - We can help you move from one-on-one relationships to team-building, specifically keeping in mind the work of connecting across various divides. These relationships are the foundation for effective action.
