The Collaboration Kit

A hands-on guide to successful collaboration for local history and travel pros.

 
 
 

 Collaboration can be the easiest, most effective and least expensive way to quickly produce new programs, tours and events – but only if you work with the right partner.

The Collaboration Kit is a practical, how-to guide written specifically for people working in local history and tourism.

Topics include:

  • The benefits of collaborating

  • How to find and approach potential partners

  • What to do if you’re approached

  • Why to consider working with competitors

  • Red flags

  • Program examples and suggestions

  • Four real world case studies including a detailed analysis of a single doomed program that went off the rails twice with two different partners

There’s even a sample collaboration agreement you can adopt and adapt to your own situation.
