Create collaboration with consultant and speaker Hardy Smith as he joins in to share the best way to create not just a relationship, but a true collaboration. Real collaboration between people — or even between organizations — comes with many benefits. It helps vent out the issues at the root of a challenge and helps vent out the opportunities for creating solutions, he says. He shares where organizations go wrong with collaboration and the one element that makes a key difference.
He and Beth discuss:
- The differences between internal and external collaboration
- What are some of the keys for a successful long-term relationship?
- The contrast between simply working together and collaborating
- Why disagreements are sometimes a good thing
- Creating a culture of leadership buy-in
- Why the need to collaborate is probably greater now than ever before
