Pre-Workshop Reflection

Thank you for registering for Collaboration in Practice.
Before the workshop, I’d like to know a little about you, the collaboration challenge you’re bringing, and what you would most like to get from the day.
Your responses will help me understand the priorities of the group and, wherever possible, focus the workshop material and activities on the issues and situations that will be most useful to the people in the room.
This should take about 5–10 minutes to complete.

The collaboration challenge you’re bringing

During the workshop, you’ll work with a real collaboration challenge from your own workplace. In a few sentences, what is the challenge you’re bringing? It might involve working within your own team, across teams or organisations, leading change, managing stakeholders, strengthening a partnership, dealing with disagreement, coordinating a project — or simply trying to get something done with other people. Just give me enough here to understand the general situation. You’ll have an opportunity to think about it in more detail before the workshop.

What would make the workshop useful to you?

Imagine it is six weeks after the workshop. What would you hope had improved or changed?

Where would you most like us to focus?

Creating the conditions for good collaboration — trust, purpose and psychological safety
Understanding the situation before moving to solutions
Listening, inquiry and understanding different perspectives
Working constructively with disagreement and difference
Thinking together and developing shared understanding
Turning shared understanding into coordinated action
Learning and adapting as the work unfolds
Building collaborative habits and ways of working

These are some of the areas we’ll explore during the workshop. Please select the two or three that would be most useful to you.

Is there anything else you’d particularly like to get from the workshop?
