Public Health Collaboration: A Journey from Partnerships to Networked Ecosystems
Public health has long acknowledged the importance of partnership-building in achieving better health outcomes. As professionals in the field continually adapt their strategies to maximize the benefits of collaboration, various approaches have emerged. In our latest infographic, we present a comprehensive overview of these approaches and how they have evolved over time to address the challenges and limitations of each method.
The infographic begins with the traditional partnership-building approach, which focuses on establishing individual relationships with community groups. Although beneficial for resource-sharing and collaboration, this method faced limitations due to redundancies and misalignments. To overcome these challenges, public health professionals adopted systems thinking, leading to the network-building approach. This method revolutionized partnership-building by viewing partners as interconnected entities within a network and utilizing Social Network Analysis (SNA) to optimize structures and eliminate redundancies. However, the network-building approach had its own set of challenges, including overlooking informal partners and creating strain from managing multiple networks.
As you continue through the infographic, you’ll discover how public health professionals turned to the tech and business sectors for inspiration, adopting the ecosystem thinking approach. This approach, originally developed to align numerous disconnected actors in the tech industry, focuses on mapping and tracking relationships and interactions among all relevant stakeholders over time. By fostering a holistic understanding and alignment of partnerships, the ecosystem-building approach enables efficient resource sharing and improved outcomes.
Explore our infographic to gain a deeper understanding of the evolution of partnership-building approaches in public health, and learn how each method has been refined and adapted to address emerging challenges and optimize collaboration.
