Our most recent book, The Partnering Solution (Career Press, 2005) "is a tools book" especially useful for improving performance and communications in the wide range of partnering important in science and technology.  The book provides insights, strategies and skills enabling you to increase partnering effectiveness in global project teams, outsourcing, strategic alliances, cross-department teams, user engagement, government, etc.  Reviewer David Hanitchak, Director of Planning and Construction at Massachusetts General Hospital comments, “If you're undertaking a complex project you will benefit from this mind-opening book. And if you're a client, especially one in a large, complex organization, this book has the potential to change the brainscape of the bureaucracy. Beg, borrow or buy this book.”  Order from www.amazon.com at this link:  http://www.amazon.com/Partnering-Solution-Powerful-Professionals-Employees/dp/1564147894/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1255485004&sr=1-1

Though focused on design and construction projects, the partnering processes described in our earlier book, the Partnering Manual For Design And Construction (McGraw-Hill, 1996), provide useful insight for science and technology partnering.  This book provides step-by-step instructions for planning, facilitating and following up on your own partnering.  Written and often used as a text, the book is also very useful for participants in partnering programs, enabling them to derive the full value partnering offers.  Order from www.amazon.com at this link:  http://www.amazon.com/reader/0070536694?_encoding=UTF8&ref_=sib%5Fdp%5Fpt#noop
