Competing interests are often inherent in the public sector including competing for limited funding dollars. Given the gist of the reading assignments this week, propose how your agency can work more cooperatively with other public/private agencies or organizations and lessen turf issues while heightening outcomes beneficial for your agency and the community at large. Provide examples of collaboration that you are aware of. Describe in detail what it would take to replicate these successful partnerships in other similar agencies in your region or elsewhere (time commitment, personnel, costs, and other factors).
