On Friday 17 November 2017 I presented to the Wellington Chrysalis for Women business group about my favourite subject – Collaboration. Or put more simply, working together. The slides from this presentation are above.
I gave a brief introduction of my story of growing up in suburban Lower Hutt and how my experiences both professional and in the community sector had inspired me to create SubUrban Co-Working.
I outlined my definition or “recipe” for collaboration being
A group of people – with shared values and respect for one another – come together to achieve the same aim. Everybody benefits in different ways. People bring their own koha/ contribution. Everyone is equally valued by the group.
and then the 9 steps I take to create collaborative projects.
1. Be a Collaborative Person
2. Build Collaboration Network
3. Build Relationships
4. Get Your Team Together
5. Your First Team Meeting
6. One-to-One Follow Ups
7. Your Second Team Meeting
8. Ongoing commuication
The story and learning is much richer when told in person and I am more than happy to deliver this presentation to other groups. Contact me if you are interested.
