This book provides four strategic recommendations for cross-sector, cross-cultural collaborations to effectively and meaningfully address adverse societal challenges. •? Monitor external factors to ensure the environment is conducive for sustainable growth of the initiative.•? Employ effective leadership and competent staff who should be given early attention. A multicultural team embodies the organizational attributes and intelligence needed to account for variance in behavior within a context. •? Provide sufficient funding and marshal sufficient resources to collect data required to inform learning and make thoughtful, nuanced, strategic decisions as the program progresses. •? The project’s commitments must be timely and accurately accounted for. Entering collaboration makes one-on-one commitments between members subject to additional commitments that must be accounted for.
