A one-day event for North East Together members and others to grow and develop collaborative leadership practice in the north east. Together we’ll build on and explore what we (NET members) have created in whole network events, learn from others, and create new tools and understanding. We’ll be looking to move from theory to practice together, and each leave with an understanding of our collaborative leadership strengths and a plan for what we need to develop and how we might do this.
The event will run 9:30-16:30, Wednesday 23 March 2022 at the Partners Room, Newcastle University Business School. Each place costs £125, with a small number of supported places at £65 (see below).
If you are as committed to effective collaboration as we are, then this is the event for you - come join us.
In a bit more detail, we’ll learn about
how we’ve explored and what we’ve learnt about collaboration over the last seven years of NET – this is described within emergent Human Learning Systems thinking as ‘learning about learning’
the seven key issues and considerations for successful collaborations (adapted by Dr Joanne James from Bryson, Crosby and Stone, 2015)
the styles, skills, qualities and characteristics of collaborative leadership that help guide and facilitate successful collaborations (Collaborative and collective leadership action inquiry event outcomes, February 2020)
the specific knowledge, skills and behaviours required to lead collaboratively
specific processes, tools and techniques that help within collaboration – our collaboration toolkit
our individual collaborative leadership strengths and areas for growth and development
You can read more our thinking about this event on Medium publication including creating the collaboration toolkit and planning the event (to come).
This event is for you if you are already an ace collaborator - come to share your experience and reflect on what you are doing with your peers - or you’re just starting - come to learn from others to develop your practice.
