COMPLIMENTARY MASTERCLASS APPETISERS ​

I hosted a one hour zoom complimentary Collaboration 101 Masterclass Appetiser last week.

The lighting was meh, the mic was okay – but the conversation….well, that was                                                                       GREAT!
Ngā mihi to those that joined in.

​Here's what folk said about the
1 April Masterclass Appetiser session ...

I am energised!
I love the set up and models - lots in them.
You identify collaborative principles; and, a set of behaviours and skills that sit well under them.
Lots of opportunity here - both for service delivery and policy development.
The alignment with leadership, culture and Te Ao Māori values resonates very well.
Love the metaphors! Really make sense.
There is a clear trajectory between issues and solutions.
A number of good new ideas in terms of setting up and operating a collaborative initiative.
Because the set up has clarity, there is more opportunity to be effective and deliver outcomes.

Here's why this is a really important wānanga for right now...

The decision to collaborate and work together across traditional boundaries sets the strategic intent and strategic direction.

Extreme events, such as the Christchurch Earthquake and a Global Pandemic are burning platforms that bring specialists, service delivery providers and policy developers together with a particular focus. A coalition of the willing, working together towards an agreed collaborative strategic intent - often in an intensive, time limited manner. 

We can learn from these events, but replicating the specifics is unlikely to be sustainable for long-term change.

In New Zealand, the  Wellbeing Budget provides a strategic long-term direction with an explicit collaboration agenda, that goes wider. There are mega opportunities that will need our attention even more intentionally post the COVID-19 crisis.

Climate change, regional economic opportunities, population health and inequities, child poverty, sexual abuse are some of the many complex opportunities facing us. We can prepare now, to build capability and create environments where we can innovate, together, for the post-pandemic future. 

It is evident that putting the words “collaboration”, “collaborative working” or similar in a strategy document or on a post-it sticker in a workshop generally leads to no more than talk about the latest “buzzword” from which no real change results!

So how do we close the gap between what is now essentially a popular buzzword and working together?

Collaboration as a business discipline is something deeper, more complex and an entirely new approach that requires new competencies.

In my Collaboration 101 Masterclasses, I bring together many years of experience and research - simply.

I help position you to be the next success story.

Next complimentary one hour virtual "appetiser" session
Wednesday, 29 April, 12.30-1.30pm. 
Email me or comment below with "yes" and I'll send you the meeting ID/password (you don't need to have a Zoom account).

Would love to have you join us.

ps I now have some new lighting, a new mic and other stuff to improve the experience!!! We're all improvisers and experimenting together 😀
