The Collaborative Excellence Series of Workshops
Participants learn how to achieve successful outcomes from their interpersonal interactions and work relationships.
These unique seminars are the culmination of four decades of teambuilding, management consulting, teaching, designing corporate training programs, executive coaching, and facilitating high-impact projects for diverse organizations industry-wide. This extensive practical experience has shaped the distinctive content and design of these workshops.
Each represents a core element of effective collaboration and is continually updated to incorporate new research findings, insightful session activities, and valuable techniques:
These five programs are primarily conducted as half-day sessions, but major portions of each constitute our two-and-a-half-day Collaborative Excellence Program for clients who prefer scheduling a longer session that covers all five topics. Our other title for this longer program is The Matrix Partnership when we adapt it for matrix organizations. When it is conducted for a leadership team, we incorporate a special section called Team Game Plans.

As training sessions:
Participants take a transformative journey together through the core elements of collaboration and engagement. Along the way, they acquire the skills to derive meaningful accomplishments from their work with others. Each richly interactive session delivers practical, proven techniques for building productive relationships that save time and deliver quality outcomes.
As teambuilding sessions:
Each session is more than a powerful learning experience. It's also a teambuilding experience when those attending are expected to work together beyond the session. The positive interactive format strengthens relationships among the participants. And the shared learning experience creates a common "language" and overall appreciation for the concepts we cover. As a result, the participants often encourage each other afterwards to apply what they have learned together.
Significance for leadership teams:
Ultimately, the quality and pace of your organization's results - and how employees genuinely feel about the culture - pivot on how those in leadership positions set the tone, individually and collectively. Based on the power of such leadership positions, these sessions are especially impactful when the individuals who comprise an organization's leadership team attend together.
