The term 'Partners' was first introduced in the Baldrige Glossary in 2005.
Partners
The term “partners”
refers to those
key
organizations or individuals who are working in concert with your
organization to achieve a common
goal
or to improve
performance.
Typically, partnerships are formal
arrangements for a specific aim or
purpose,
such as to achieve a
strategic
objective or to deliver a specific product.
Formal partnerships are usually
for an extended period of time and involve a clear understanding of
the individual and mutual roles and benefits for the
partners. See also the definition of “collaborators”. |
