Given the continued proliferation of public/ private partnerships as vehicles for sharing best practices, lessons learned and actionable information, the keys to their success become more important to identify. Effective partnerships enhance the resilience of their respective members, which, in turn, improves community resilience. Thus, identifying the attributes of a successful partnership should be a high priority for those looking to foster collaboration between the public and private sectors. This paper will illustrate with two case studies how successful partnerships creatively leverage opportunities and manage the evolution of public/private relationships, while always seeking to institutionalise these collaborative efforts. The first will discuss briefly the development of the most important national partnership within the financial sector. The other focuses on a public/private task force in Chicago, composed of public safety agencies and representatives of critical infrastructure, which owes its existence to an unexpected research project and that needed to be restructured in light of experience. The manner in which the task force formed and evolved yields many lessons for partnerships interested in remaining relevant and effective.
鉴于公私合作伙伴关系作为分享最佳实践、经验教训和可操作信息的载体持续增多，明确其成功的关键因素变得愈发重要。有效的合作伙伴关系能增强各自成员的适应能力，进而提升社区的适应能力。因此，对于那些希望促进公私部门合作的人来说，确定成功伙伴关系的属性应是重中之重。本文将通过两个案例研究来说明成功的伙伴关系如何创造性地利用机会并管理公私关系的演变，同时始终寻求将这些合作努力制度化。第一个案例将简要讨论金融领域最重要的国家伙伴关系的发展。另一个案例聚焦于芝加哥的一个公私特别工作组，该工作组由公共安全机构和关键基础设施代表组成，其成立源于一个意外的研究项目，并且需要根据经验进行重组。该特别工作组的组建和演变方式为那些希望保持相关性和有效性的伙伴关系提供了许多经验教训。
