The Collaboration Concept ™

The Collaboration Concept ™

From coexistence to full cooperation

An interactive introduction to the essential concepts of teamwork and collaboration for maximum results.

Program concept

"Companies try all kinds of ways to improve collaboration between different parts of the organization: cross-unit incentive systems, organizational restructuring, team work training. Although these initiatives produce occasional success stories, most have only a limited impact on dismantling organizational silos and fostering collaboration.” Harvard Business Review 03/05.

Good teams need to go beyond basic team building to become aware of the team dynamics while working, in order to foster healthy collaboration. Learning to work with peoples' differences, even harnessing conflict, can help to ensure superior and creative results.

Feedback

Client Success Stories

"We were able to understand our strengths and weakness and find the fun in ourselves. Issues that have previously taken months to deal with are now solved. A process of very clever facilitation as opposed to straight teaching."

Vice President Cisco Systems Marketing Asia/Pac


"It helped me see myself in my working environment. It’s made me aware of how to approach my team-mates – not to offend them or push their hot buttons and also for me to let my team know what makes me 'tick'."
