strategizing Across Organizations

BUSINESSES NONPROFITS, POLICY makers, and others frequently find it helpful to come together in networks of organizations to tackle large-scale challenges, such as COVID19, extreme weather events, humanitarian disasters, or supply chain disruptions. But devising strategy in such meta-organizations is far different from strategizing within a single organization and much more difficult.
