12:00 - 2:00pm Pacific (California) Time
Collaboration relies on finding effective ways of attending to multiple needs. For its full benefits to be felt across the entire system, all levels of an organization benefit from aligning with the principle of focusing on needs and purpose.
This course centers on systems. As such, it is uniquely suited for executives and managers who are committed to embracing collaboration across the entire spectrum of your teams and organizations.
During the first week, the focus will be on learning which systems are crucial for any organization to establish and clarify… whether that organization is collaborative or not. Additionally, we'll be delving into and clarifying the basic principles of shifting an organization toward a collaborative orientation.
Throughout the following weeks, we'll highlight specific systems and propose ways of aligning those systems with core principles of collaboration:
- Basic principles of collaborative systems;
- Shared purpose and values;
- Decision making and resource allocation systems; and
- Feedback and conflict resolution systems.
If you'd enjoy learning...
- Why systems matter and what groups and organizations can do to encourage collaboration;
- How power relations make collaboration less likely – and what you can do to transcend power differences and create human collaborative islands within a less-than-fully-collaborative organization;
- Specific steps you can take to begin shifting your organization towards a more collaborative orientation…even if you are not in a position of power;
...then register today for this dynamic course, and prepare to systemically – collaboratively – transform the living culture of your entire organization!
