Description

Collaboration is often viewed as a one-time or project-oriented activity. An increasing challenge is to help organizations incorporate collaborative values and practices in their everyday ways of working. In Creating a Culture of Collaboration, an international group of practitioners and researchers-from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Chile, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom, and the United States-provide proven approaches to creating a culture of collaboration within and among groups, organizations, communities, and societies.
