Problem
Government leadership in a metropolitan area has been approached by a professional sports franchise with a proposal to move the franchise to your area, which includes the construction of new multipurpose facilities. Leadership believes that forming a cross-sector collaboration would be beneficial in the review and consideration of the proposal from the franchise.
Brainstorm with your team regarding the following:
1) Should leadership use a network collaboration or an independent public-services provider collaboration model in this scenario? Why or why not?
2) Define the differences between the two collaborative models, including the advantages and disadvantages.
3) Elaborate on how communication and political support would enhance the collaborative experience.
4) Discuss partner types who will have a vested interest in the proposal, such as city planners or food vendors, that might be included in the cross-sector collaboration.
