KUDOS...here's what folk said after previous webinars
In our post event survey, folk said they left these sessions:
- more informed about what collaboration is

- with a framework for developing a collaborative venture
- understanding better the challenges of collaboration
- the value of defining a shared agenda and agreed outcomes
- the importance of taking an inquiry approach
- understanding the need to be "intentional"
"I would recommend this training to others because it makes you think more about collaboration
and how it can be used as a tool to achieve a common goal."

New Refreshed Masterclass
Collaborative Working: Working Towards Working Together
This is a one day small group in-person workshop, Wellington. We planned to run this event on Friday 2 July, but because some folk are travelling out of town — following the Wellington COVID Level 2 extension announcement on Sunday 27 June, have made the decision to postpone to later in the year. Email me with expressions of interest and we'll let you know as soon as we have a new date.
The focus for this day will be to equip you as a leader, manager, convener, chair and facilitator of your collaborative decision making and problem solving spaces and projects. Working at the intersection of strategy, co-design and system change we will look at:
You will leave with practical tools and frameworks to help everyone to do their best thinking — towards cultivating shared responsibility and delivering shared value.
The most complex problems facing us need all of us. At our best, we solve complex problems that none of us could handle alone, and at our worst we reduce collaboration to little more than a buzzword. Collaborations can be bounded around policies, services, opportunities, geography, population, desired outcomes, or combination of the above.
Whether you call it participatory decision making, social innovation, dialogue and deliberation, cross functional teams, multi-stakeholder collaboration or collective impact — this day is for you. The focus will be to strengthen your effectiveness in moving beyond business as usual and building the capacity for collaboration, towards unleashing the transformative power of shared thinking — helping people to make decisions and get the work done, together.
Moving beyond ideas and concepts, you will leave with practical tools to support:
When: TBC
Where: Maranui SLSC Club Lounge, 7 Lyall Parade, Lyall Bay, Wellington (10 mins from Airport and CBD)
Who should come?
This workshop is for all fellow (current and aspiring) collaborators:

KUDOS...here's what folk said after my Masterclass Appetiser sessions.
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.
Nazanin, you did a great job of running this online, one hour, taster course on collaboration. You had the group working well together and shared thought provoking information in the short time frame. Thanks. |

Recently attended a workshop online she offered about Collaboration. Rich resources, inclusive, warm and engaging. If you're into understanding how to work together for enhanced responses, Nazanin is offering a great way of achieving that. |

In this workshop, organised exclusively for our members in Australasia and Southeast Asia, you’ll hear from practitioners on the skills and mindsets public servants should develop in order to successfully work together across disciplines, sectors and government silos. You’ll also learn how to convince others of the value of working collaboratively to tackle complex problems.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
WHO SHOULD WATCH:
This workshop is for anyone who wants to learn how to collaborate successfully with others, be that across teams, departments, government or sectors.
