Collaborating Across Organizational Boundaries
Identifying and Solving the Problems of Working with Other Organizations

Leaders need to get out of their stovepipe mentality and start collaborating. With a downsized workforce, complex problems that cannot be solved from a single discipline or point of view, and customers who do not want to shop around, the need for collaboration and partnerships is increasing. FEI's faculty is seeing a trend toward greater collaboration among Federal agencies, with state and local agencies, with nonprofits and even private sector firms.

By collaboration, we mean two or more organizations jointly producing something that neither could produce (as well) on its own. The organizations share resources, decisionmaking, and ownership of the final product or service.

It sounds great, but how can trust be developed? How does one deal with different funding streams, measurement systems, and cultures? And what about the ego and turf battles that get in the way? This workshop helps answer those questions.


Key Results

  • Understand the major benefits to your organization from successful collaboration
  • Identify how other agencies are succeeding through collaboration, and the "speed bumps" that they are dealing with
  • Develop strategies for anticipating and dealing with the speed bumps and issues you'll face while collaborating
  • Understand and apply a tested framework for implementing successful collaboration in your agency
