What do we need to learn to collaborate better?

Just over one week to go to our next Caplor Community event. It will include a focus on new resources a group has been developing for coaching. This includes how we can all be better leaders through strengthening our approach to asking great questions. The webinar is on March 2nd at 12:30-14:30 (GMT). You can register here to receive the Zoom link, and see a flyer here. Please join us!

Collaboration can be vitally important in different ways - e.g., better collaboration can help accelerate progress on challenges facing the world. One of our goals focuses on collaboration and how we can increase it (our strategy is here).
 
Something new!
We’re sharing here something ‘hot off the press’ created by Séamus (O’Gorman), one of our Advisors. Séamus draws on his considerable experience and reflection; also the results of an action learning initiative that he led. Huge thanks to Séamus and the outstanding group that took part.

What’s in it?
Developing the Craft of Collaboration – Part 1 offers a ‘9-R Framework’ for immersion into the experience of collaboration, grounded in the Action Learning Group’s reflective search. See a graph of the 9Rs below."Part 2" will be released shortly and offers a four-part action framework to design and deliver the craft of collaboration. The framework is aligned with the Caplor House model. 

What is ‘action learning’?  This typically a small group wanting to learn and develop creative ways forward to an issue - in this instance about how to increase collaboration. There’s more in the paper about the methodology.
