Collaborative problem solving in government

Over the past decade, collaboration has become something of a buzzword in government, heralded as the solution to some of the most complex problems public servants face.

Yet it can be hard to pinpoint what real collaboration should look like and, crucially, how you do it.

In this workshop, organised exclusively for our members in Australasia and Southeast Asia, you’ll hear from practitioners on the skills and mindsets public servants should develop in order to successfully work together across disciplines, sectors and government silos. You’ll also learn how to convince others of the value of working collaboratively to tackle complex problems.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

• What you as an individual can do to support collaborative efforts to succeed
• How to take an “ecosystem” approach that optimises the collective impact of individual efforts
• Ways to foster collaborative leadership and learn from failure
• How to collaborate with partners beyond the public sector

WHO SHOULD WATCH:

This workshop is for anyone who wants to learn how to collaborate successfully with others, be that across teams, departments, government or sectors.
