Collaboration and Communication

This program provides individuals and teams with the opportunity to experience collaboration across both internal and external boundaries. Working both within groups and across groups, participants build awareness of the:


Importance of cooperation
Challenges inherent in inter-team communications
Significance of creating and sustaining effective partnerships.

Participants will be going through a simulation where collaborating is critical to successfully completing the task. They then consider their experience in the context of real-life/organizational experience and discuss the four critical skills needed to effectively work across boundaries:


Reaching Out
Sharing Information
Exploring Alternatives
Making It Happen

Participants will:


Learn how to work effectively across functions, geography, and distance.
Breakdown communication barriers.
Creatively solve complex problems.
Examine assumptions about how people and functions work together.
