90 Minute Collaboration at work Training session

Collaboration is key if you need an adaptable team that can handle change. This means communicating effectively, developing trust, building relationships, leading with influence and being able to work fluidly across departments.

When carried out effectively, collaboration succeeds in solving problems by focusing on shared values and so means the solutions are longer lasting. Conventional decision-making can bring about change through new rules and policies, but only collaboration can truly shift peoples’ underlying attitudes.

Collaboration allows participants to learn from one another and work toward a deeper understanding of important issues and constraints. Problem-solving power is shared in a collaborative process, and this often translates into a sense of shared responsibility for the issue or issues faced by the team.
