Principles for Partner Participation
7Saturday, 30 June 12
Partner PrinciplesGuiding principles for collaborative and enabling partners:
Collaborative Advantage: Partners create/co-design new value together as opposed to mere exchange through their involvement in the NATA project. In addition, partners engage with each other through their complementary assets and skills and contribute some in-kind support for the NATA.

Partner Principles
• Strategic Alignment & Communication: There is alignment between the NATA vision, mission and objectives with the activities of the collaborative and enabling partners. In addition, partners share ideas in the spirit of collaboration through open, constructive, and critical dialogue in relation to tertiary education learning and teaching.

Partner Principles
Integrity: Partners work with each other in the spirit of mutual trust and respect which includes having a clear understanding of the management, decision-making and financial allocation of the project.
Sustainability: The NATA will contribute to integrated, generative and future-focused strategies to maintain and sustain effective leadership and best practice in tertiary education learning and teaching.
