Creating Culture Collaboration Hardcover - 2006 - 1st Edition
by Sandy Schuman (Editor)
Summary
From the rear cover
Meaning is all we want. Choices are all we make. Relationships are all we have. How can we create greater shared meaning and sense of purpose, make more effective choices, and enhance our interpersonal and interorganizational relationships? How can we work together more effectively, involve the full diversity of players, and still get things done?
Collaboration is often viewed as a one-time or project-oriented activity. An increasing challenge is to help organizations incorporate collaborative values and practices in their everyday ways of working. In Creating a Culture of Collaboration, an international group of practitioners and researchers-from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Chile, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States-provide proven approaches to creating a culture of collaboration within and among groups, organizations, communities, and societies.
A practical resource, Creating a Culture of Collaboration integrates the underlying bases of collaboration with field-tested approaches and provides numerous examples of collaboration in action that illustrate the application of theory in practice. In addition, the book is filled with useful figures, exhibits, and tables that clearly illustrate and expand on the ideas presented.
Creating a Culture of Collaboration is written for group facilitators, organization development practitioners, public participation specialists, and any advocate of collaborative processes-people who are concerned with conflict, consensus, and change.
