Collaboration a deep, collective, determination to achieve a common goal by sharing knowledge, learning and building consensus.

Loomio is an online platform for collective decision- making connecting people within and across organisations, overcoming geographic distance and polarised points of view disrupting positional authority so everyone has a voice many people can talk at once and still be heard
