47 Partner perspective

Your partners are significant stakeholders in the Jam. As such, organising dedicated evaluation discussions with them will help you identify the benefits they offer and the challenges they face. These meetings also provide opportunities for stakeholders to discuss future collaborations.

You should identify questions that focus not only on the Jam itself, but also on the impact it has had on them, and what they would like to see done differently. Explore what your partners would like to see included in future events, and how you can support them in delivering this.

Jams should enable sustainable collaborations and relationships, and can lead to larger-scale projects and long-term partnerships.
