Overview

This one day seminar explores collaborative leadershipfrom an organisation’s internal perspective:

• It seeks to shed light on the strategic context for collaboration between departments, silos and management.

• It will increase the repertoire of collaborative options available to you as a leader, and help you gauge internal stakeholder interest and appetite for collaboration.

• Crucially it will help you to develop and nurture a culture of collaborative working within your organisation.

How can you as a leader build a culture ofcollaboration within your organisation?

If you do so successfully, it will result in two outcomes:

1. Your collaborative in-house working will generate efficiency or improvement gains that were not available if departments or services continued to work in silos

2. When your organisation is successful at internal collaboration, external partnership working will be more readily achieved. You will have what the academics call Collaborative Advantage.

At the centre of all this is you, the collaborative leader. Leading internally, and sometimes beyond your departmental, or service, boundaries
