IBIN: Catalyzing a movement for

Collaboration and Implementation

Like „TQM‟ in Japan, IBIN will grow as a movement of learning

facilitated by a network of capabilities

• A common language and relevant tools for contexts where better coordination,

collaboration, and implementation are required

• Tools and techniques include ‘Quality’ tools and social science techniques for dialogue

and alignment

• Used to identify core issues, design interventions, enlist partners and manage

implementation

• Some partners with the know-how for these techniques and tools, in India and from

abroad, are already in the process of being roped in as IBIN partners
