Internal and External Collaboration

March 21st 2006

Q. We’re looking to improve our internal and external collaboration and hopeful you could recommend a book or two, or other resources that could assist me with developing a plan.
 

A. Someone once said, “None of us is as smart as all of us.”  How true.
 

Collaboration has been a hot topic in business the last few years, but is a business concept that has been successfully implemented for generations.
 

There’s no question businesses consistently practicing internal and external collaboration are in a much better position to be successful than those businesses that do not implement internal and external collaborative strategies.
 

Here are five books I recommend for review and reading in preparation for creating and implementing a collaboration strategy:
 

“The Power of We,” Succeeding Through Partnerships.
   (Tisch)
“Organizing Genius,” The Secrets of Creative Collaboration
   (Bennis)
“Go Team!” Take Your Team to the Next Level.
   (Blanchard, Randolph, Grazier)
“Beyond Teams,” Building the Collaborative Organization.
   (Beyerlein, Freedman, McGee, Moran)
“Radical Collaboration,”
   (Tamm and Luyet)
 

Your turn to take a shot!
 

What collaboration books or resources have you used to improve your internal and / or external collaboration?
