Abstract
This paper examines a case study of a learning partnership between a non-government organisation and a university. The literature suggests that a learning partnership with a university presents some unique challenges and recommends that such a partnership is most useful for the transfer of tacit knowledge using thick or rich communication channels. Based on the analysis of data from the case study, the paper suggests seven principles that industry should use when forming a learning partnership with a university - build a long-term relationship, time and patience, scouting and negotiation, gaining familiarisation, flexibility and respect, the importance of the strategic plan and planning the learning environment.
