LET'S USE A FEW EXAMPLES
“Liz ‘s wisdom and patience helped a diverse group of local Council service managers collaborate and resolve a shared vision and key outcome statements. Her humour and her ability to elicit honesty and clarity for the workshop participants have placed us in an excellent position to take some far reaching, difficult but exciting decisions that will benefit the residents and local communities of our LGA””
Scenario #1
Working with the Director of a local government department in an area going through rapid change and growth. He can see potential for his division to have more collective positive social impact in the community by integrating many of their efforts.
Scenario #2
Jennifer is CEO of a local health service. She has a strong management team but there is underlying conflict within the team. At the same as her internal problems, her industry is going through big changes around cost-cutting with a focus on person-centered service delivery. They are also seeking to collaborate with other services in the area that they have previously competed with.
Scenario #3
Frustrated by the lack of opportunity, entrenched disadvantage in their area, a group of concerned residents come together with local community organisations and government representatives to try and work out some new solutions to long standing problems. Despite an abundance of goodwill and resources they struggle to work together in new ways.
