Collaborate to Accomplish Something Greater

Wednesday, September 8, 2010 ~ 5:30 - 7:30 PM PT

To remain relevant in this increasingly complex, interconnected world your two most vital traits to hone are your top talent and your capacity to collaborate - especially with people extremely unlike you. Rational Optimist author, Matt Ridley, and Cognitive Surplus author Clay Shirky - among others - predict that collaboration will flourish. Done right, it's the surest way to seize an opportunity or solve a problem. Keys are recruiting the right team around the sweet spot of mutual benefit, using the best collaborative method and with agreed-upon Rules of Engagement. That's why, after reviewing over 300 examples of successful collaboration including 18 she's instigated, Anderson honed a model.

She found that several kinds of collaborative including co-creation, charette, crowd sourcing, mutual support, peer2peer and team-to-team, yet the one that is most versatile is the self-organized project team.

In this session hear success stories, steps, pitfalls and ways to instigate and participate in collaboration so you can use your best talents to accomplish greater things than you could alone – and savor the experience.
