  Leveraging Design: How the Design Process and a Design Framework Strengthen Nonprofit Management Pedagogy

  Design is a comprehensive methodological approach to instruction practice that is focused on problem solving and transformational outcomes. For teachers and students

  developing design skills can facilitate the creation of a larger sense of purpose

  vision

  and the infusion of techniques that apply readily to learning that involves individuals

  teams

  and organizations. Those who study the nonprofit sector may use design methodology to frame curriculum development. In this article

  it is argued that design may be used in nonprofit management curriculum to promote academic and teaching innovations for the field of nonprofit studies.

  Leveraging Design: How the Design Process and a Design Framework Strengthen Nonprofit Management Pedagogy

  Although difficult

  complicated

  and sometimes discouraging

  collaboration is recognized as a viable approach for addressing uncertain

  complex and wicked problems. Collaborations can attract resources

  increase efficiency

  and facilitate visions of mutual benefit that can ignite common desires of partners to work across and within sectors. An important question remains: How to enable successful collaboration?\n\nInter-Organizational Collaboration by Design examines how these types of collaborations can overcome barriers to innovate and rejuvenate communities outlining the factors and antecedents that influence successful collaboration. The book proposes a theoretical perspective for collaborators to adopt design science (a solution finding approach utilizing end-user-centered research

  prototyping

  and collective creativity to strengthen individuals

  teams

  and organizations)

  the language of designers

  and a design attitude as an empirically informed pathway for better managing the complexities inherent in collaboration.\n\nThrough an integrated framework

  evidence-based tools and strategies for building successful collaboration is articulated where successful collaboration performance facilitates innovation and rejuvenation. This volume will be essential reading for academics

  researchers

  leaders and managers in nonprofit

  private

  and government sectors interested in building better collaborations.

  Inter-Organizational Collaboration by Design

  Although difficult

  complicated

  and sometimes discouraging

  collaboration is recognized as a viable approach for addressing uncertain

  complex and wicked problems. Through exploratory

  sequential mixed-methods research completed over three empirical studies

  I discover how inter-organizational collaborations can overcome barriers to innovate and rejuvenate communities and understand the factors and antecedents that influence successful collaboration.\n\nIn the first study

  I use a grounded theory approach to identify the factors involved in successful collaboration. To confirm and validate the findings

  I propose a theoretical model emerging from the qualitative research

  designed and empirically tested through a survey of 452 leaders and managers participating in ongoing or recently completed inter-organizational collaborations. In this second study

  I found design attitude

  shared vision

  and autonomy all positively affect successful collaboration performance. The study proposes a theoretical perspective for collaborators to adopt design science

  the language of designers

  and a design attitude as an empirically informed pathway for better managing the complexities inherent in collaboration. This study is also the first to quantitatively validate a design attitude scale for building better collaborations. My third study uncovers the link between mutually beneficial exploration with validated constructs from my second quantitative study. These findings identify a starting point for successful collaboration answering the critical question for practitioners of “where do we start?” as well as guidance for designing and building better collaborations (#buildbettercollaborations) where successful collaboration performance and innovation contributes strength and energy or rejuvenative collaboration.\n\nThis dissertation makes empirical and practical contributions to inter-organizational collaboration.

  Dr. Jennifer R. Madden had her research on Successful Affordable Housing Cross-Sector Collaboration profiled by the Urban Institute in How Housing Matters. \n\n\"How Housing Matters is an online resource for the most rigorous research and practical information on how a quality

  stable

  affordable home in a vibrant community contributes to individual and community success.\"
