Collaboration is the art of effectively working with others to achieve a common goal. When we create a shared vision, combine resources (human, physical and financial) and create a structure for collaborative decision-making, we maximize our learning, creativity, resources, and potential.
Effective collaboration means that a common goal is accomplished; participants feel they have each contributed to the solution and are inspired by the experience. Frequently the end result is better than any one person could have accomplished.
In the collaborative process something new is created as a result of each person contributing, yet not being attached to his or her ideas or resources. Individual efforts are leveraged when we work together with others towards a common outcome. When people solve a problem or create something new together, the learning that occurs and the sense of alignment that happens are both stimulating and inspiring.
