  2. Collaboration Doing together what cannot be done alone.

  3. Collaboration …an exciting process where partners with diverse broad interests and expertise combine that expertise to focus on a specific common challenge or project.

  4. Collaboration is a process to reach goals that cannot be achieved acting singly (or, at a minimum, cannot be reached efficiently). As a process, collaboration is a means to an end, not an end in itself. The desired end is more comprehensive and appropriate services that improve … outcomes. - Carl Bruner

  5. CollaborationSteps to Success • Involve all key players so that collaborative decisions and activities receive widespread support and recognition. • Ensure that the leadership is visionary, is willing to take risks, and facilitates change rather than directs it. • Establish a shared vision of how the collaboration should progress and of the expected outcomes.

  6. CollaborationSteps to Success • Build ownership at all levels. Commitment to change must be mobilized at all organizational levels. • Establish communication and decision-making processes that accept disagreement among actors as part of the process and establish ways to address conflict constructively.

  7. CollaborationSteps to Success Institutionalize change by encouraging partners to include collaborative goals in their own institutional mandates and by earmarking funds to carry out collaborative activities. Finally - and perhaps most importantly - remember that change begins with individuals, not institutions.

  8. Collaboration is "the process of shared creation: two or more individuals with complementary skills interacting to create a shared understanding that none had previously possessed or could have come to on their own”. • Michael Schrage Shared Spaces as Collaborative Tools
