Collaborative Processes
Collaborative processes® provides facilitation, mediation, consultation, planning advice to groups of persons, business entities, nonprofits/NGOs and government agencies that want to:
- Learn to make collaboration a real and meaningful component of their activities.
- Work effectively together toward common objectives.
- Where needed, use dialogue to transform conflict from destructive to productive.
- Collaboratively develop a strategic framework for action.
- Move collaboration from a concept or “vision statement” into action.
- Realize and accept the reality and benefits of inter-connectedness (avoiding the illusion of fragmentation and disconnection).
- Search broadly for options, avoiding the narrow field of view that law often brings to conflict.
- Use collaboration to create institutional strategies, and make important decisions.
