Darian Stibbe, TPI’s Executive Director, has been honoured by the Annual Review of Social Partnerships (
ARSP) as a ‘Thexis Leader’ who has “inspired the international community through their cross-sector research and practice”
The ARSP journal, dedicated to the theory and practice of
collaboration as key to solving social problems, has marked its 10th
year with a special celebratory issue announcing the ARSP International
Thought, Practice & Thexis Honours List.
Practitioners from 13 countries participated by voting for the
thought and practice leaders, from various sectors, who had inspired
their research or practice through frameworks, key concepts or
innovative practice in their own work.

Stibbe was recognized for his inspirational work as a ‘Thexis
Leader’. A combination of ‘theory’ and ‘praxis’, ‘thexis’ refers to “the
ability of people to move to an evolved understanding in any field by
merging theoretical and practical insights, theories and experiences”.
One nomination referred to Stibbe as ‘a bit like the partnering Oracle,
offering a wealth of practical delivery experience and an amazing
ability to generate knowledge capital that quickly becomes
international best practice.’ Another stated that “Darian is steeped in
partnership theory and practice. His depth of knowledge inspires you to
go beyond what you thought possible”.
Stibbe joins a number of others in the list of honoured Thexis
Leaders including Jane Nelson, Gib Bulloch, Ros Tennyson and Klaus
Schwab.
“I am priviliged and delighted to join such an amazing group of
partnership luminaries honoured by the ARSP as Thexis Leaders”,
commented Stibbe. “Of course, in reality it is very much a team effort
and it is both inspiring and an enormous pleasure to work with a group
of brilliant people at The Partnering Initiative.”
The ARSP International Thought, Practice & Thexis Honors
were developed to raise cross-sector awareness, encourage deeper
appreciation of past initiatives, and stimulate further interactions
among practice and research in Cross Sector Social Partners.
