Practitioner-Academic Relationships Workshop
About
Practitioner-Academic Relationships: Value Propositions and PowerWorkshop Facilitator: Christine Flynn
This half-day special session brings together practitioners and academic researchers to explore how collaborative conditions can be structured to facilitate effective advice and decision-making in Public Management. Practitioners will offer insights into the conditions required to make these relationships relevant, useful, and practical. Academic scholars, in turn, will reflect on the kinds of contributions that can best support practitioners’ work.
The session will examine key issues shaping successful collaboration, including governance arrangements; the balance between soft and hard power approaches; clarifying needs versus wants in defining roles and responsibilities; transparency and ethical considerations; and articulating a shared value proposition. The panel will convene local and other governmental decision-makers, alongside scholars who have worked effectively in such partnerships.
Participants will engage in productive dialogue be well positioned to explore the latest research and thinking in Public Management, explore illustrative cases and examples and, pose probing questions that illuminate the conditions necessary for effective and sustained engagement.
