About the Book

The really big sustainability challenges for your business can't be solved by your business. But they can be solved by your business working in collaboration with others. Working Collaboratively provides tools to help you understand and manage successful collaborations: identify potential collaborators, e.g. key players from other parts of the system; spot internal "ways of working" that support or get in the way of collaboration; use a range of techniques to explore win-wins with potential collaborators. Collaboration means sharing decisions, resources, risks...and control. It means trusting others, sharing your weaknesses as well as your strengths and taking the time to find win-wins (or compromises). It requires a leap of faith, because you never know what will emerge from the chaotic early steps. Drawing on examples of collaboration between strange bedfellows, this practical guide will help you take the first steps towards building sustainable solutions together.

Review :
"Cross-sectoral collaborations are a more and more significant part of today's sustainability agenda. It's a fast-moving area, and Penny Walker's book brilliantly highlights both the motivations that lie behind some of today's breakthrough initiatives, and the principal criteria that make for successful outcomes."--Jonathon Porritt, Founder and Director, Forum for the Future. "Today we live in a fractured unsustainable society and economy. Alone, 'locked' in our homes and offices, cut off from different views, skills and solutions. If we want a better future we need to learn to truly partner. To share assets, ideas, energy and emotion. Those individuals and organizations who not just recognise this but can do something about it will prosper together in the future. So 'jump in' to Working Collaboratively and learn practically how to do partnership."--Mike Barry, Head of Sustainable Business, Marks and Spencer "Walker's Working Collaboratively is a highly readable, pragmatic guide for anyone contemplating working across boundaries. Practical and visual, it covers the what, why, and how of collaboration. With straightforward suggestions and stories to back them up, put it in your pocket as reference for when you venture into complex and critical change."--Peggy Holman, author of Engaging Emergence: Turning Upheaval into Opportunity and co-author of The Change Handbook
