Supplement E: Providers Network & Inventory Report

Providers Network & Inventory Summary On Wednesday, October 8, 2025, 110% presented the “Parks & Recreation Service Providers Network and Inventory” as part of the Bloomington Parks & Recreation Master Plan project. The recreation and leisure industry service providers of Bloomington were invited to be part of this unique opportunity that included an interactive discussion to understand what services are provided in the community and how the department and all providers can work together for the greater good. Providers were provided with the following items to expect from the workshop:  Network with other Bloomington service providers.  Share the types of services each organization offers to the community.  Learn what services other organizations are providing to the community.  Consider opportunities that may exist for organizations to partner with others in the community. Not including department staff, 36 individuals representing 33 various recreation and leisure industry service providers attended the workshop. The gathering began with an introduction of the workshop and its place as part of the Department’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan project. Then a brief educational overview of the types of sectors serving the recreation and leisure industry, service analysis and the MacMillian Matrix, and information on effective partnerships was covered. During the workshop, attendees were prompted to scan a QR code, leading to the Parks & Recreation Providers Inventory survey, to answer a series of questions aimed to gather more information about each provider and a self-assessment of their services. Lastly, attendees were provided with two interactive activities before the workshop closed. The first activity had attendees use Post-It Notes to represent their organizations and the types of services they offer on a large board presented to the group at large. Then each provider was asked to identify a prospective partner in the attendance and have a structured conversation to begin exploring a partnership. This Parks & Recreation Providers Network and Inventory Summary shares important information that was used to structure the workshop, as well as sharing the results from the gathering’s Parks & Recreation Providers Inventory survey.

Information on Partnerships What’s a Partnership? The term “partnership” has become a bit of a buzzword over the past few decades and encompasses a variety of relationships such as strategic alliances, cooperative ventures, and collaborations. Whatever the term used, a partnership revolves around achieving mutually beneficial outcomes for all parties. It seems as though a partnership would be irresistible. However, the reality is that some organizations view joining hands with a “partner” as a potential threat to their territory (or silo), image, or bottom line. Yet, in today’s competitive landscape and ever-changing markets, a thoughtfully constructed and managed partnership can be a powerful asset. Partnerships represent advantageous collaborations that position participating organization(s) to efficiently utilize resources leading to cost effective and efficient service delivery. They facilitate the bridging of markets, reduce duplication of services and fragmentation of resources, and foster cooperative capital development and/or improvements.

Partnership Considerations 1. The Reciprocal benefit…seek organizations that have something your organization desires, and vice versa. The expectation of reciprocal benefit is a must when preventing one organization from simply becoming a granting body to another. Identifying the value of the contributions brought forth from all participating organizations helps ensure that there is equal value and benefit to each all. For any governmental organization, receiving fair and just value on behalf of taxpayers in return for any resource investment and commitment must be paramount. 2. Don’t settle…any alliance should be beneficial to your organization and, by extension, to your community and taxpayers. This can be in terms of a positive impact on the bottom line, an enhanced image, or some other benefit. If no such advantages exist, reconsider the partnership. 3. Think long-term…partnerships are strategic relationships designed to benefit all involved for a minimum of three to five years. Evaluate potential partners based upon their potential longterm contributions. Partnerships should be strategic with sustained mutual benefits. 4. Relationships are key…recognize partnerships are essentially business relationships, and the individuals involved can make or break the collaboration. 5. Shy away from those with a questionable reputation…it is important to research any prospective partners. Are they credible and honest in their dealings with others? Assess their reputation, service quality, and standards. If their values are not in sync with your organization, reconsider the partnership.

Information on Partnerships 6.

Are your eyes on the same ball… potential partners share the same or similar fundamental purpose (mission). Aligning mission and purpose is crucial for the success of the partnership.

A Continuum of Service – Getting Started Given the competitive landscape in the park and recreation and leisure services market, strategically crafted partnerships serve as powerful tools to optimize resources, foster collaborative competition, and achieve cost-effective service delivery. To set the stage for the future of partnerships in your community and ensure a seamless Continuum of Service within the leisure services market in your community or region, consider initiating what we refer to as a Partner Network. What is a Partner Network? A Partner Network is a platform that brings together service providers together with the goal of reducing service duplication, promoting effective partnerships, and helping organizations define their service lanes. The first step involves creating a comprehensive inventory of existing and potential partners. This should include the organization’s name, location, primary contact with email, sector classification, and mission/purpose of the organization. Once the inventory is ready, consider hosting a Providers Network gathering. The primary objective is to introduce the concept of a collaborative network of park and recreation/leisure service providers. This forum encourages engagement and discussion with a focus on “how we can work together for the greater good.” Creating a greater understanding of the spectrum of providers and Continuum of Service in your community and region, and intentionally identifying current services and providers, you establish a robust platform for future collaboration. Key focus areas for the initial gathering:  Service Provider Types: the types and number of service providers within each sector (public, non-profit/NGO, private, social enterprise).  Competitive Landscape Analysis: Analyze the competitive landscape by identifying organizations that compete for similar markets to those of your organization.  Collaborative Opportunities: Identify organizations interested in pursuing collaborative efforts through partnerships, grounded in reciprocity for the efficient and effective use of resources.

Information on Partnerships Creating a Partnership Agreement As you get closer to finalizing a deal with a potential partner, the following list outlines key tasks to navigate discussions, deliberations, and the negotiation of a partnership agreement. 

Schedule one or more meetings with the potential partner to establish the foundation for an agreement.

Discuss the future vision, or “big picture” to align both parties’ interests with their respective goals for the next year, 3-5 years, and beyond.

Identify any potential challenges and obstacles that may arise during the partnership and strategize on how to address them.

Create a draft agreement that includes the following parameters and ensure mutual agreement:

Scope and management details of the partnership

Defined goals and objectives

Explicit roles and responsibilities of all partners, including decision-making authority

Detailed obligations of all partners

Milestones with identified accomplishment dates

Term of the agreement, avoiding indefinite commitments and incorporating periodic review periods

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) encompassing financial and strategic aspects, tangible and intangible.

Financial arrangements with specified contributions, distributions, and terms

Termination clause in the event of poor performance, unforeseen circumstances, etc.

Establish an agenda for formal negotiation, ensuring every aspect is documented in writing. Under no circumstance should there be a “handshake agreement.”

Information on Partnerships Creating Momentum Once potential partners have been identified, whether through a Partner Network or other means, it’s time to make contact. Initiate a meeting to discuss the possibility of collaboration. The initial meeting is arguably the most important moment in any partnership. While a meeting does not bind either party to a commitment, it serves as a logical starting point for the conversation. This is the moment to establish the foundation for a productive future relationship and to uncover any potential obstacles or challenges. The primary goal of this initial conversation is to assess whether the partnership holds value for both your organization and theirs.

Managing the Partnership Moving Forward After the agreement is signed, the focus shifts to implementation, marking the start of the work. The key determinant of a partnership’s success lies in access to the right team members – this distinction is the difference between a partnership that yields results from one that is simply documented on paper. Identifying the specific individuals, departments, or divisions responsible for implementing and managing the partnership streamlines the process. It establishes a direct link to those capable of evaluating its effectiveness, identifying areas for improvement, and ensures a connection to the individuals accountable for the partnership’s expected work. Consistent and open communication is the backbone of any successful partnership. Each party relies on the other for staying well informed. Achieving this involves providing regular status reports and/or scheduling a periodic touch point (e.g., quarterly) to facilitate connection and to address any concerns that may impact the health and well-being of the relationship. When executed thoughtfully, partnerships are advantageous collaborations that empower participating organizations to optimize resources and deliver cost-effective services. In an era where resources are increasingly scarce across all sectors, the strategic value of partnerships is more crucial than ever. By fostering alliances, we not only streamline operations but also elevate our capacity to serve the community better.
