Official synopsis Publisher
The really big sustainability challenges for your business can’t be solved by your business. But they can be solved by your business working in collaboration with others.
Working Collaboratively provides tools to help you understand and manage successful collaborations: identify potential collaborators, e.g. key players from other parts of the system; spot internal “ways of working” that support or get in the way of collaboration; use a range of techniques to explore win-wins with potential collaborators.
Collaboration means sharing decisions, resources, risks… and control. It means trusting others, sharing your weaknesses as well as your strengths and taking the time to find win-wins (or compromises). It requires a leap of faith, because you never know what will emerge from the chaotic early steps.
Drawing on examples of collaboration between strange bedfellows, this practical guide will help you take the first steps towards building sustainable solutions together.
