KNOWLEDGE CENTRE

About the Knowledge Centre

As thought leaders in the field of partnerships, and committed partnership educators, we continually create practical tools, processes and approaches to support collaborations reaching their full potential, and regularly refresh our materials based on the latest theory and frameworks. Our extensive range of materials are made freely available as part of our mission to promote new standards of partnering practice and build practitioners knowledge around the world.

TPI’s Knowledge Centre aims to make these learning materials and resources as accessible as possible, to support partnership practitioners at every level, from those starting to partner and wishing to understand the basic building blocks and concepts or build their skills, to those more experienced looking for practical tools and tips, to experts looking to deepen knowledge on a particular topic.

You are welcome to browse by publication type, or check out our quick start section for tips on where to go next.
