Collaboration Tools

COLLABORATION: A co-creative engagement that is designed to create value and equity for each partner. To work with another person or group in order to achieve or do something, often by sharing knowledge, learning and building consensus. More than a collection of skills and expertise, a collaborative process creates a culture of discovery, co-creation and innovation. Collaboration points us to new leadership capacities and behaviors.

CO-CREATION: A discovery or delivery strategy focusing on stakeholder experience, interactive relationships, and shared knowledge. Co-creation allows and encourages an interactive involvement to create a value rich experience. 

COLLABORATIVE LEADERSHIP: An emerging body of theory and leadership practice focused on the leadership skills and attributes needed to deliver results across functional and organizational boundaries, and create value and equity for each partner, often by sharing knowledge and learning, and building consensus towards shared, positive outcomes.
