Collaborating
Across Boundaries

Most
people agree that the rate of change has been exponentially increasing over
the last several years. Change has occurred in the technology we use, the
lives we lead and the organizations we serve. As change occurs in one part
of a system it affects other parts of the system impacting more and more
people and increasing the need for appropriate interventions and organizational
results. As a result of the increasing speed of change and the seemingly
shrinking amount of time and resources that organizations have to achieve
results, effective collaboration has become increasingly critical. Collaboration
has to occur between people, within organizations, between organizations,
between states and between countries. Communication channels have changed,
we much more frequently have to collaborate through language barriers, cultures,
the Internet, and voice mail. In order to address these fundamental shifts,
organizations need to alter the way they have been collaborating and communicating.
This session will create an environment to explore what may not be working
in the way we currently collaborate, models of high impact collaboration
and the tools necessary to break through the barriers, ways to approach
cultural and power issues, and geo-dispersed, cultural disparate project
teams. |
