An Introduction to Collab

All organizations have communication operating systems. Organizational operating systems are the ways by which we make decisions, create priorities, and are accountable to each other. The trouble is that our operating systems are often implicit, or not consciously leveraged to consistently get productive solutions for ourselves, our relationships, and our organizations. These organizational operating systems can also be fractured, used partially or inconsistently, leaving some people in the dark when it comes to key conversations, decision making, and determining the balance of individual and shared leadership.
Collab - a leadership training and toolkit

Collab is the communication operating system we’ve researched and developed in response to the problems that often arise without a clear system built on participatory values. It is synthesized from the best work in organizational and individual development to deliver collaborative power in action.

Collab takes the highly complex, and often conflicted territory of how we get work done together, embeds the leadership values of shared power, and condenses your already existing communication systems into a simple, comprehensive map that will help you and your organizations increase shared leadership, effectiveness efficiency, and joy.
