Questions for responding to the four tensions of co-production in collaborative research partnerships:

• What is our vision for co-production? How do we define it and embed this in our organisation’s strategies and structures?

• What language and communication will be helpful to share this vision within and outside the collaboration?

• How much power are we willing to share with other senior leaders in the collaboration? And how will we manage uncertainty and ambiguity resulting from power sharing?

• How much capacity do we have in my organisation to support co-production? And what can we do to increase capacity/capability of existing staff?

• What resources will we need to for this and how do we distribute them across the collaboration?

• How can we reflect on progress in realising this ambition at regular intervals with external partners?
