Exploring Inter-Network Collaboration: A Tool for Discovery

What is Inter-Networking?

 
Inter-networking occurs when two or more networks explore how they can collaborate for Kingdom purposes. This is best facilitated by having each network share about their goals, structure, strengths, and vision. The connections, insights, and understanding that emerge from these discussions are what allow new opportunities for Inter-Network collaboration to occur.

After years of facilitating these kinds of critical conversations, Dave Hackett, a Senior Advisor with visionSynergy, has put together a set of structured questions designed to help network leaders facilitate effective exploratory inter-network discussions.

The inter-network Discussion Guide:

This guide consists of two conversation templates:
1. A set of questions networks can use to prepare for and engage in inter-network conversations.
2. A visual worksheet that helps networks explore opportunities for Kingdom collaboration.
