Collaborate – Partnering For Success

“Collaboration Is More Than Just Collective Intelligence. To Be Successful, It Must Stemmed From A Mindset Of Partnership, And The Question To First Ask Is, “What Do You Do When The Ship Sink?”” – Joseph Wong

Program Description

“Collaboration is taking over the dynamic of our workspace. The hierarchy of an organisation is going to get flatter and it is going to expand side-way instead. More teams are going to be created based on business teams and not hierarchy or function. With the above evolving landscape, one thing is certain in our workspace – Collaboration.

As our business climate becomes increasingly global and cross-functional, silos had to be broken down, increasing connection between people, and strengthening team dynamic is crucial to organisational success. Another research by J. Richard Hackman a pioneer in the field of organizational behaviour pointed to a groundbreaking insight:

His studies revealed that what matters most to collaboration is not the personalities, behavioural styles or attitudes of team members, instead, what teams need to thrive are certain “enabling conditions.”And in three of Hackman’s conditions—a compelling direction, a strong structure, and a supportive context—continue to be particularly critical to team success and those three requirements demand more attention than ever. To enable the three conditions for success requires a fourth critical condition that I called the partnering mindset.”

The Research

According to data collected over the past two decades, the time spent by managers and employees in collaborative activities has ballooned by 50% or more.

What’s interesting is that, research conducted across more than 300 organizations shows in most cases, 20% to 35% of value-added collaborations come from only 3% to 5% of employees which is highly lop-sided.
