IMPLICATIONS FOR SUCCESSFUL COLLABORATION

COLLABORATION TAKES TIME...

To build trust
To understand roles and responsibilities
To invite and answer questions
To present information necessary for decision making

COLLABORATION HAS TO BE BASED ON RESPECT THAT IS DEMONSTRATED...

By holding meetings at mutually convenient times and places
By insuring that all team members have the same information
By incorporating differing viewpoints
By giving validity to differing viewpoints

COLLABORATION MEANS THAT POWER AND CONTROL MUST BE SHARED OR RELINQUISHED...

No one members has all the answers all the time
Balance and give-and-take are key
What do we need to know to set up an inclusive program?
