There was a lot at stake then, and there's a lot at stake now, and we won't solve our problems if we expect them to be solved by a few supermen or superwomen. Now we need everybody, because it is only when we accept that everybody has value that we will liberate the energy and imagination and momentum we need to create the best beyond measure. 
Forget the pecking order at work | Margaret Heffernen | TEDWomen 2015

Nasi is a collaborator - in theory and in practice. I had the pleasure of engaging Nasi for a short contact, which was completed to time, cost, and quality. I have since sought her advice on cross-agency collaboration activities, and look forward to working with her again in the future.

- Collaboration is an idea whose time has come, an idea that can create hope for a better tomorrow.
- It may be fragile and emergent, but a better and more collaborative future is already here. 
- The mindset we need today is collaborative. It is based on the story of "us". Its premise is that we are part of a bigger whole, and it asks us to acknowledge the interconnectedness of people and planet, that we are part of a living system.
Quotes from "​Manifesto for a Collaborative Society", Collaborate, UK (January 2020)
