Abstract
In an era of collaborative research, academics are increasingly encouraged and even expected to develop and conduct research in partnership with private, public and/or community sector stakeholders. However, while reflections on and within research are increasingly common, reflections on the management of a multi-sector research collaboration are less so. This paper presents results, from the researcher's perspective, of a reflective process which explored the successes or otherwise of research management within one such Action Research project. A conceptual model which identifies factors inherent to capacity to collaborate was used to guide data collection and inform data analysis. Overall, results from the reflective process confirm the challenges that arise when a diverse group of people from dissimilar organisations 'come together' aspiring to implement a successful multi-sector Action Research collaboration.
