About the workshop

No one organization or group, working alone, can effectively address the growing number of complex, interconnected issues that communities are currently navigating.  In fact, the most promising – and innovative – solutions to these issues require collaboration.  That’s because effectively addressing such issues requires a well-coordinated set of solutions that are usually beyond the mission/mandate of any one sector or organization.

Bringing together leaders from different sectors, organizations and groups – including those with first-hand experience of the issue – to discover and work well together to implement such solutions takes patience and skill.  It also requires a different way of thinking and working than what is required within a single organization.  

This workshop is for:

• Leaders in non-profit organizations seeking to leverage collaborative strategies to advance their mission.

• Municipal decision-makers working across sectors to achieve community priorities.

• Practitioners aiming to strengthen their skills in designing and facilitating effective collaborations.

• Resident leaders mobilizing people and resources to create change on complex community issues. 

Join us to:  

• Deepen their knowledge and skill to lead and facilitate diverse sectors and groups to develop and advance a shared strategy.

• Understand the core work in each of the 4 phases of any community change initiative.

• Consider the fundamental mindset shifts required to advance collaborative strategies.

• Discover useful tools and frameworks that enable people to think and learn together.

• Learn and share stories and insights from successful collaborative efforts
