# The 30 Practices of a Healthy Consortium

What the strongest technology consortia and standards organizations get right, and how they keep it that way.

Most leaders can name a few things their organization does well. Far fewer can name what they're missing. This practical guide lays out the 30 practices across 5 disciplines that separate durable consortia from the ones quietly drifting.

- ○The 5 disciplines of a healthy consortium, and the practices under each
- ○The lifecycle stages every organization moves through, and what to prioritize at each
- ○How the healthiest organizations tend to all of it continuously, not once
- ○Benchmarks and examples from organizations you already know

Who it's for: executive directors, board chairs, and founders of technology consortia, standards bodies, and associations.
