Collaborative Conversations

Include More Voices - Make Better Choices

 

If you spend more than two hours a week in face-to-face, phone or online meetings with people in order to get your work done, the chances are good that your work life will be significantly improved by incorporating the Collaborative Conversations approach.

The Purpose of Collaborative Conversations is to include more voices in the conversations needed to create a mutually desired future, and to make better choices as a result of the broadened inclusion - even if there are hundreds of people involved.

The Value of Collaborative Conversations is that people can:

    ~  Arrive at a clear idea of what is important to them regarding specific issues.

    ~  Explore what is possible based on the constraints they are operating under. 

    ~  Determine and coordinate effective actions that produce desired outcomes. 

    ~  Critically reflect and learn in order to improve their future conversations.

The Results of Collaborative Conversations include:

    ~   Teams that thrive.

    ~   Reduced waste.

    ~   Increased productivity and ownership.

    ~   Less conflict and fewer power struggles.

    ~   Greater creativity and innovation.  

    ~   Wiser decisions and happier people.
