Presenter
David Sawyer, Partner, Converge for Impact, President, Context, Inc,
Nick Viele, Partner, Converge for Impact, Advisor, Facilitator, & Partner, c3strategy
This session will demonstrate, through a series of experiential exercises, how to make complex collaboration work, both within organizations and across sectors. The session will begin with an overview of the Network Leader Roadmap that includes key strategies and design components necessary for effective collaboration. The session will then lead participants through an interactive simulation demonstrating how to establish a strong foundation of trust upon which collaborative efforts can live up to their potential and drive sustained impact on complex social issues.
Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to establish meaningful trust across diverse groups, even despite intense personal disagreements and professional differences—and it doesn’t have to take years. Individuals and organizations begin to develop trust most effectively by communicating authentically to resolve the issues that need to be addressed as they arise, in real time, as the collaboration takes shape.
Research and experience shows us the single most important factor that determines the long-term success of networks and collaborative efforts of all kinds is not strategy, structure, systems, or technology, but rather the quality and strength of the relationships that develop between its members.
