16 First Among Equals (Joan Roberts) Governance is all about power. Most of the power associated with the governance function is assigned through terms of reference and partnership agreements with respect to decision-making (voting or consensus), rights, roles, and responsibilities. If members are not conscious of who has power and there is no clear documentation of power relationships, then assumptions are made that may determine the structure of the collaborative. Often the most common assumption is that one or a small group of members are making all the decisions and doing all the work. It is important to agree to an organizational and governance structure that is clear to all members and stakeholders. Collaborative Governance Challenges Membership Membership Contributions Play your Position Members not clear about the problem Member organizations not engaged Decision Making Unclear decision making processes Not sticking to decision making process Collaborative does not know what decisions they can make Governance Governance is not defined No governance or operational policies Levels of accountability not defined 16
