Clear Focus Second, the success of any partnership is proportionate to its clarity of purpose. Partnerships are messy enough without a clear target for their efforts. The idea here is to create a partnership as an organizing force with purpose. Measurable Outcomes Third, a partnership is motivated by success. Success is best defined by simple measures.

We discovered that the key to organizing systems is not in coordinating services. It is data. Leadership Finally, partnerships need leaders today who value what Albert Einstein said when he remarked that we will not solve today's problems using yesterday's tools.
