Bob Zdenek has been creatively working at the intersection of community development and other sectors for over 30 years bringing together health, social services, asset building and workforce development into the community development sphere. To be effective, an organization needs to be strategic, hone its core competencies, and find the right partners to bring the requisite expertise and resources to implement the initiative. CDCs do not have to be expert in health care systems, when they can find the right health care partner to help them achieve good health outcomes to improve the social determinants of health. Robert Zdenek Associates has significant experience and relationships in finding the right partners.
Bob Zdenek recently co-authored with Dee Walsh a ground breaking book on strategic partnerships titled Navigating Community Development: Harnessing Comparative Advantages to Create Strategic Partnership published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book identifies over 50 community development competencies and how to use those competencies to design initiatives that will enhance the mission, vision, and impact of any organization and community.
