Keith Fletcher has spent much of the past few years working with 'failing' authorities with problems caused by ineffective or non-existent collaboration arrangements. He has helped them to identify strategies and build effective partnerships. He was formerly Deputy Chief Inspector in the Social Services Directorate, Wales, trained as a social worker and his professional background is in government social services. He has previously written several books on children's, health and social services.

Consultant Fletcher focuses on establishing and maintaining close working relationships that result in collaboration in designing and delivering health, social care and education services. He shows how conflicts of interest and intent and limited resources often have agencies that should be working together instead at each others' throats, and shows how to turn these disadvantages as incentives for cooperation and mutual support.
