We Are In the midst of A Crisis In Collaboration
According to Gallup, two-thirds of US employees are disengaged. That means large numbers of people are neither collaborating nor being collaborated with effectively. This is happening at a time when work is shifting to being increasingly collaborative and project based.
The risk of this disengagement is more than turnover and quiet quitting. It presents an existential threat to companies. Globally, 65% of projects fail to meet their objectives. 17% of IT projects fail so spectacularly they put the future of the business at risk.
Collaboration is more than a value, it’s a skill.
Collaborating isn’t one activity or style of working. It’s a dynamic set of activities; each with their own needs, challenges, and benefits. And yet, for something that is so important to our individual and collective success, we are woefully unprepared.
Working together effectively is more than having a shared task and occupying the same physical or digital space. Everyone who has worked on a school project can attest to that. And yet, companies insist on repeating that same basic approach to collaboration that has let us down since grade school to critical projects.
There is a better way.
Training for The Collaboration Age
We offer two customizable training paths: the first focuses strategically on the behaviors and processes that make collaboration successful. The second focuses on tactical communication skills that allow everyone to communicate more effectively.
Collaboration Workshops and Trainings
Effective collaboration balances employees’ needs for community and autonomy and requires a mix of skills, tools, and attitudes. Our groundbreaking collaboration model breaks apart the distinct activities we engage in when collaborating and gives participants the tools to work better together and build better, more inclusive teams.
Whiteboarding for Success
Whiteboarding is so much more than using markers on a board. We teach whiteboarding and digital collaboration tools as a foundation for effective collaboration. The way we communicate and collaborate has changed dramatically in the last few years. Our approach combines public speaking and visual communication to empower team members to thrive in today’s hybrid environment and drive better business outcomes in person and online.
