That’s how one executive explained his agency’s move toward collaboration. Many of the issues that agencies are expected to deal with today are cross-cutting, and no one unit or organization can address them fully. An increasing number of managers and leaders are learning how to collaborate – within and across agencies – on such challenges.
But how do you deal with the many “speed bumps” that collaboration poses: turf and trust issues, the need for senior leaders to actively support it, the difficulty of collaborating across different agency cultures, the time required, dealing with people who won’t share information, the lack of incentives to collaborate? This workshop deals with these and related issues.

- Understand the key elements of effective collaboration,
