PBA18 (talk) 08:00, 28 June 2017 (UTC)Thanks for providing the opportunity to comment on your points. The intent of this article is to raise awareness for partnership brokering as a way to collaborate effectively and to support transformational change. As people start adopting it, new knowledge will emerge and inform the practice and possibly challenge the underlying conceptual frameworks. The Wiki article seems to be the best place to capture status quo, and subsequent developments on this topics, with many other people being able to contribute their research, experience and work related to partnership brokering.

Whilst partnership brokering may not yet have been published in a journal, or in other independent sources, it is not correct to say, that the concept is based on the author’s own ideas. The methodology of partnership brokering is informed by conceptual frameworks which have been cited, and by research based on practice, with 250 practitioners sharing their findings in log books, chartering their partnership brokering journey.

Since this is a pioneering new concept, it is inevitable that there will not yet be major endorsements from a range of 'neutral' players. The fact it is new means it is innovative and pioneering and breaking new ground. In an open source information age the new should not be penalised for being ahead of the game

As for the ‘cheerleading’ tone, please help us get it right. Perhaps you could flag the passages that seem too coloured by enthusiasm or emotion. We want to improve this article to match a more appropriate tone and style.PBA18 (talk) 08:00, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Would it help if there were more academic sources for this page?
 * What do you mean by cheerleading tone?

Partnership brokering has wide application
While the concept of Partnership Brokering emerged out of the international development sector, in practice, it is an approach that has much wider appeal across many areas of social change, sustainable economic and social development and government programs. As the scope of application of brokering expands through the deliberate and ongoing reflective practice of active brokers, the potential relevance of partnership brokering, as described by PBA, to broader fields is becoming apparent. For example, is it being applied in health and education programs to support effective collaboration between government departments, the private sector and not-for-profit agencies engaged in integrated service delivery and policy influence. And in the fast-moving world of enterprise support, coworking, social enterprises and start-ups who, while often practiced in using co-design approaches, are seeing the benefit of more deliberate attention paid to their partnerships beyond specific projects. These are emergent areas and information about how relevant the approach is here will be tested over time using the reflective practice promoted by PBA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhondalea65 (talk • contribs) 00:24, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
