You need to bring the right people together to explore the possibilities, make decisions and shape a clear way forward.
There are different perspectives, priorities or interests to work through before you can reach agreement and move forward.
You need to bring agencies, partners, stakeholders, iwi, hapū or communities together around a shared issue, opportunity or outcome.
You need to agree direction, priorities, roles or ways of working so everyone understands where you're heading and their part in getting there.
The conversations keep happening, but decisions aren't being made, priorities remain unclear or discussion isn't turning into action.
You're starting something new and want to be clear about the purpose, involve the right people and create the conditions for people to work well together.
