The document discusses how to exploit funding to sustain collaborative projects between public sector organizations. It outlines that assets should enable service delivery rather than hinder it. The new model relies on financial self-sustainability, with public investment as seed capital to drive transformational change. Collaborative projects require leadership buy-in, effective partnership working through shared governance, and clearly defined success measures around integrated services, economic growth, cost savings and capital receipts. Case studies demonstrate models of self-funding library projects and strategic reviews of blue light services' property assets.
