Concluding summary Katrin MuffBibliographyAbout the authors Review "Authors show their initiatives and insights on how to identify, invite, design and host a journey of collaboration to solve wicked problems. The book, rather than a collection of articles, is very well framed and feels like a co-created exploration of people working directly to re-shape change-making processes towards journeys of collaboration."-- (09/18/2014)"This book shows how organizing can be fun, practical and transformative. A rare mix of practical step-by-step guidance with profound theory that touches heart and soul. Keep this book beside you, and give it to your boss!"--Jonathan Gosling Promotional More and more people today recognize that the problems we face will require an order-of-magnitude increase in our capacity to collaborate ... I fear the gap between rhetoric and reality will sink this ship before if ever gets out of port - unless the emerging insights from master practitioners like those in The Collaboratory spread quickly. -- Peter Senge, MIT and the Society for Organizational Learning SHORT VERSION Collaboration and Co-creation are needed NOW; this book provides the practical tools for making change happen -- Jean-Paul Jeanrenaud, Director, One Planet Leaders, WWF International More and more people today recognize that the problems we face will require an order-of-magnitude increase in our capacity to collaborate across all manner of institutional, national, sectoral, and cultural borders. But I fear the gap between rhetoric and reality will sink this ship before if ever gets out of port - unless the emerging insights from master practitioners like those in The Collaboratory spread quickly. -- Peter Senge, MIT and the Society for Organizational Learning FULL VERSION Every few years a new technology energizes the field of planned change. The Collaboratory is the latest example. Every change agent needs to read this book. -- Robert E. Quinn, Margaret Elliott Tracy Collegiate Professor in Business Administration & Professor of Management and Organizations, University of Michigan We are engaged in transforming a whole organization from the traditional top-down approach to peer-based collaborative working. We are discovering that this is unlocking peoples ability to think, act, and be more globally responsible leaders, at deeper levels of our business. The Collaboratory contributions highlight key concepts, particularly the Whole Person approach which is at the heart of our powerful transformation. -- Mary Godfrey, Director of Change and Performance at Bettys and Taylors Group We know there are no universal recipes, and no ready-made expert solutions for the unprecedented tangle of issues and tensions that face us both locally and globally. But the power and emergence that arises from collaboration and co-creation is rich, real and ready to work. This book is an inspiring invitation and guide to be part of this worldwide movement for positive change. -- Professor Stephen Sterling, Centre for Sustainable Futures, Plymouth University, UK This book shows how organizing can be fun, practical, and transformative. Are you tired of trying to improve things but ending up with the same old boring processes? Then stop, and create a Collaboratory: here you find personal narratives that take the reader alongside wonderfully inventive and sensitive social innovators who combine a rare mix of practical step-by-step guidance with profound theory that touches heart and soul. Keep this book beside you, and give it to your boss! -- Jonathan Gosling, Professor of Leadership Studies at the University of Exeter Business School Leaders of the future will need to have an intrinsic understanding instead of how networks operate and how to collaborate and build coalitions of the willing. For all these leaders, this book provides an invaluable roadmap. It demystifies the process of collaboration and shows how - through a structured approach - it can become firmly embedded in any organization. Refreshingly, however, it also recognizes that this is an art not a science ... I commend this book on the basis of proven experience of Unilevers "Sustainable Living Lab" - an open but structured online forum in which to collect ideas, share good practice, discuss possible partnerships, and ultimately co-create solutions to the many challenges Unilever faces. Guided by the ideas and suggestions in The Collaboratory, we can now take it to another level. -- Paul Polman [from the Foreword] Review Quote "This book shows how organizing can be fun, practical and transformative. A rare mix of practical step-by-step guidance with profound theory that touches heart and soul. Keep this book beside you, and give it to your boss!"
