Weaving Threads Together
When & Where is Collaboration Essential? December 11, 2016
2
Learning Intentions Unpack what ‘respectful collaboration’ looks like
Identify assumptions we’ve made Identify challenges to multi-stakeholder collaboration Generate insights on how to work in a good way In this panel we're wanting to unpack what respectful collaboration looks like. In the abstract, we recognize that we often operate within departmental, organizational, or sectoral silos. We often hear the hypothesis or assumption that we "should" collaborate more: when we approach the work of collaboration we find we have made assumptions, we find barriers to this collaboration In this panel we'll explore the assumptions we've made in our collaborations & what we’ve learned from those. We’ll explore the places in our work where collaboration makes a significant strategic difference.
