This unit, CHCPRP001 Develop and Maintain Networks and Collaborative Partnerships describes the skills and knowledge required to identify networking and collaboration needs and develop formal and informal partnerships to enhance service delivery and improve professional practice.

This unit applies to work in all industry sectors, and to individuals who take proactive responsibility for improving collaboration between workers and organisations.

Ministry priorities are much the same as any professional calling, our priorities are much the same, and while enhanced by biblical principles, the priorities remain very similar. The same underlying skills and knowledge are required to identify networking and collaboration needs and develop formal and informal partnerships not only within the church or denomination but across denominations and businesses and community groups alike to enhance our service to the church and the world at large.

Successful churches like any successful business rely in part on the relationships developed with other people and organisations working together to reach a common goal.

This unit applies to work in all industry sectors, and to individuals who take proactive responsibility for improving collaboration between workers and organisations.

You are required to show how you establish collaborative partnerships and relationships with business and industry stakeholders, that is those key people and organisations who will interact with you and your church or ministry.

This unit covers communicating to influence others, cultivating new and existing partnerships, establishing positive collaborative relationships, leading the establishment of a partnership program and establishing reporting mechanisms.

The unit applies to people who use cognitive and creative skills to review, critically analyse and synthesise knowledge, to generate ideas and provide solutions to complex problems. They use communication skills to demonstrate their understanding of theoretical concepts and to transfer knowledge and ideas to others.
