We collectively face unprecedented global challenges. Only by working in partnership can we create innovative, transformative and sustainable solutions needed for people and planet to prosper.

 

TPI works with individuals and organisations from all societal sectors, and with partnerships at every level, to help them realise truly transformational collaborative impact.

 

TPI believes in a world where collaboration is the norm and all sectors combine their resources through partnership at unprecedented scale to deliver true sustainable development.

 

TPI has been a pioneer in the development of the theory and practice of multi-stakeholder collaboration since its foundation in 2003

The Power of Partnership

Founded in 2003, TPI passionately believes in the power of collaboration across societal sectors to leverage complementary resources and unleash the innovation and transformational change necessary for people and planet to prosper.

Our work aims to realise a new era of partnership in which business, governments, NGOs, academia, foundations and international organisations systematically align their interests, and effectively combine their resources, to maximise collective value and deliver prosperous economies, thriving societies and a healthy environment.

We do this through our cutting-edge research developing professional standards for partnering, and by supporting individuals and organisations from all sectors of society, and partnerships at every level, to fully realise their potential for transformational collaboration. And to achieve scale of impact, TPI is working towards a global partnering enabling environment that can support widespread, effective multi-stakeholder partnership for a sustainable future.
