- The document discusses the benefits and challenges of partnership working, using the National Museums Online Learning Project (NMOLP) as a case study. - Key benefits included adding value, sharing knowledge and resources, and providing a platform for genuine collaboration. However, partnerships require buy-in, clear benefits and deliverables, and agreement on how partners will work together. - The NMOLP partnership involved 9 UK national museums collaborating digitally for the first time. The project faced challenges around expectations, commitments, and technical and branding constraints that required management.
