Key question

How can we more effectively collaborate across the multiple boundaries we encounter in our work?

Overview

The Boundary Spanning Leadership workshop is based upon extensive research that indicates effective leaders have the ability to collaborate across 5 boundaries: Horizontal, Vertical, Geographical, Demographic, and Stakeholder. The workshop introduces 3 strategies and 6 practices for working across these boundaries. When leaders effectively work across boundaries, their organisations are able to better solve complex problems, increase innovation, build partnerships, and empower employees.

This workshop can be part of an organisation-wide initiative to improve collaboration across boundaries or targeted to specific groups in the organisation that need to work more closely together. The workshop is appropriate for all levels of employees.

Everything in this workshop is connected to a Key Question: How can we more effectively collaborate across the multiple boundaries we encounter in our work?
