This programme is designed for:

In the digital age, we operate at the fringe and cross-pollinate different fields, as we learn, solve novel problems and create new possibilities together. This means we need to look at the whole issue, identify people with the right expertise and experience and be willing to renegotiate roles and ways of working.

In the digital age, we operate at the fringe and cross-pollinate different fields, as we learn, solve novel problems and create new possibilities together. This means we need to look at the whole issue, identify people with the right expertise and experience and be willing to renegotiate roles and ways of working.

Why is this critical?

“Wholeness Based Collaboration” goes beyond emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills to help a team focus on the whole, contract with peers, navigate ambiguities, manage opposing interests and path-find amidst complexity.

​

This changes the basis of partnering:

  • Relationships replace job descriptions.

  • Peer accountability replaces performance appraisals.

  • Systems focus replaces functional focus.

  • Making and honouring promises to peers is basis of commitment.

  • Looking out for the whole, going beyond one's functional lens, is what brings expertise together to solve problems.

  • The quality of the relationships determines how effectively a team goes beyond the boundaries of old job descriptions to cover the grey areas in between.

Collaboration in a Digital Age

The competitive advantage is the glue between the parts. The work is in how effectively a team goes beyond the boundaries of old job descriptions to cover the grey areas in between.

In this workshop, we will focus on:

  • What is wholeness, the benefits of wholeness to team performance.

  • Identifying barriers to whole thinking.

  • The three pathways to wholeness: Anchoring, Balancing and Clearing.

  • Anchoring – who are you beyond your functional expertise.

  • Balancing – embracing opposites in our thinking.

  • Clearing – letting go of judgement and negative emotions.

  • Building connection and mutual trust. - Mobius Insight Tool to resolve opposing interests. - Possibility conversation and getting clarity on shared vision.

  • Making requests, offers, refusals and counter-offers.

  • Whole meeting process as a way to take care of tasks and relationships.

In this highly engaging workshop, participants will learn to:

  • Align with peers to get clear on tasks and build relationships.

  • Communicate their needs and working styles to deepen mutual trust.

  • Say ‘no’ clearly and negotiate viable alternatives.

  • Connect their work to the larger whole and realize the benefits of going beyond their roles and functional lens.
