The Alliance governance approach is designed to ensure that community and stakeholder values and aspirations are represented at all levels.

Our culture and guiding principles

The Stirling Alliance is committed to working collaboratively with its stakeholders. This means we listen and learn, respect diverse views, value honesty and transparency so that we can trust each other. This is the culture we foster so that we can work together without blame, to find solutions that benefit everyone. Within the project team, we have adopted Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective People as a behavioural framework to help us operate effectively as a team.

A set of guiding principles have also been developed to guide the project over the long term:

Take ownership in delivering the PPCP’s program in a manner that is seen as a world class planning and delivery mechanism.
Develop trust and demonstrate thoughtful relationships, ethical leadership and effective and timely decision making.
Work together as a seamlessly integrated team generating heart and excitement to drive non-business-as-usual outcomes.
Invite, listen and respect courageous contributions from all.
Find solutions as a team that we alone could not have imagined.
Work in an environment of mutual trust that is guided by intent to meet program challenges and aspirations and deliver balanced outcomes.
