52 Weeks: Week 21 - Collaboration

Focus Question:  Where are you needing to collaborate so that you can enhance the impact of your work?
 
Description
Collaboration in today’ business context can take a number of forms – from Joint Ventures, to Co-Facilitation, Collaboration and Co-Leading. What are the different partnerships you engage with?
 
Great partnerships don’t just happen. They are usually created with some intention. They are often planned.
 
It can be valuable to spend some time to plan your collaboration by asking:

• What do you want to get out of the collaboration?
• What skills do you bring?
• How are you complimentary?
• What’s really important as an outcome in this work?
• What’s really important as a process in this work?
• Where is it not a good idea to collaborate?
• What will you do to provide feedback to each other?
