Could this work in our club?
- Decision-makers in businesses, community organisations and institutions with a credible connection to an identified community outcome. Use when a specific community outcome needs capability or reach that a suitable partner may provide. Confirm that the Multi-Party Partnership Discovery Breakfast mode fits the local setting before adapting it.
Before you start
- Verified Rotary capability, project facts and a clear statement of what cannot yet be promised.
- Partner research, conflict check, authorised contact route and minimum necessary professional details.
- Decision and action record, due dates and a secure location for proposals and review evidence.
- Proportionate finance, legal, privacy, safety, safeguarding, brand, insurance or IP review for the actual exchange.
At the end: Send the agreed discovery record, complete due-diligence actions, keep promises and no-go reasons visible, conduct the scheduled partner review, and close data, brand, asset and financial obligations when the relationship ends.
Before your club says yes
Does the idea fit?
Talk with the people it is meant to serve and check that the need is real.
Who can say yes?
Name the person or group that can approve the work, spending and any safety arrangements.
Are people protected?
Check privacy, consent and safety. Collect only the information you genuinely need.
Can everyone take part?
Check the language, format, place, technology and cost for barriers.
Are the facts and permissions right?
Check names, claims, images, quotations, partner references and Rotary branding.
How will we learn?
Note where things stand now, check in at 30, 60 and 90 days, and decide what to do next.
