Radical change starts with questions. Questions lead to conversations. And conversations unearth possibilities for your organization. Here are a few conversation starters to consider when exploring the possibilities of collaborating with other organizations:
- What do we have to offer collaborative partners?
- What, specifically, are we looking for in collaborative partners?
- What are the characteristics of an outstanding collaboration?
- What collaborations have we had in the past that have worked well and what can we learn from that?
- What collaborations have we had in the past that have not worked well and what can we learn from that?
- What process should we use in the future for deciding who to collaborate with?
