The Creative Edge of Collaboration: Harnessing the Knowledge, Expertise, and Innovation of Diverse Partners and Stakeholders

Collaborations are built on more than identifying clear roles, goals, and deadlines. Working with diverse stakeholders on complex initiatives poses unique challenges regarding how to share leadership, reach consensus, and ultimately build the trust needed to effectively leverage knowledge and resources towards creating impact for the populations and communities you serve. More over, successful collaborations channel creativity and innovation allowing for the generation of ideas and coming to resolution as a team on how to take action in a meaningful way. In this one-hour webinar, drawing on examples from both the nonprofit and public sectors, Carlo Cuesta of Creation In Common will speak about the individual leader’s role in cultivating the creative edge of collaboration, what stakeholders need to do to prepare for collective action, and how to create experiential moments that recognize the power of working together.
