Following the Summit theme of Power in Partnership: Our Collective Impact, Myles will be speaking on the topic of cross-sector collaboration. Read below for an overview of the topic!

Minimum Viable Benefit (MVB) approach to Cross-Sector Collaboration

Myles will share insights about cross-sector collaboration that we have developed at the University of Minnesota’s Center for Integrative Leadership. Our MVB approach provides a process that helps ‘fight the overwhelm’ inherent in many cross-sector collaborations. The MVB approach is an iterative process that focuses on what collaborators can bring to address the problem and actions that they can initiate, test, and scale up (or pivot from).
