Creating a Culture of Collaboration:
The International Association of Facilitators Handbook
Meaning is what we want. Choices are what we make. Relationships are what we have.
How can we create greater shared meaning and sense of
purpose, make more effective choices, and enhance our interpersonal and interorganizational
relationships? How can we work together more effectively, involve the full
diversity of players and still get things done?
Collaboration is often viewed as one-time or
project-oriented activity. An increasing challenge is to help organization
incorporate collaborative values and practices in their everyday ways of
working. In Creating a Culture of Collaboration, an international group of
practitioners and researchers–from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Chile, New
Zealand, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom, and United States–provide proven
approaches to creating a culture of collaboration within and among groups,
organizations, communities, and societies.
A practical resource, Creating
a Culture of Collaboration integrates the underlying bases of
collaboration with field-tested approaches and provides numerous examples of
collaboration in action that illustrate the application of theory in
practice. In addition, the book is filled with useful figures, exhibits, and
tables that clearly illustrate that expand on the ideas presented.
Creating a Culture
of Collaboration is written for group facilitators, organization
development practitioners, public participation specialists, and any advocate
of collaborative processes, people who are concerned with conflict,
consensus, and change.
