Collaborate to Create Community
October 6, 2016
Collaboration is easy to talk about—almost everyone does—but it is not so easy to do. Internally and externally, all groups sing the praises of collaboration. They see the potential to create a whole that is greater than the sum of the parts. Sadly, lived reality is often different. Resources and hopes are invested, and the shared effort falls short. Learn how to see, understand, and influence the conditions so shape successful collaborations in your team, organization, or community.
Collaborate to Create Community
September 1, 2016
Bureaucracy was an inspired invention, when government was out of control, and graft and corruption reigned supreme.

The structures that generate silos of funding and function are barriers to innovation for the common good.

Explore how we can set conditions to guarantee work toward common goods without the waste and frustration of locked-in structures of governance.

Teaching & Learning
June 2, 2016
There are many great ideas for excellent teaching and learning. From communities of practice to problem-based learning, if you can imagine it, there is an instructional “solution” to match your view.

Explore universal questions that lead to specific answers for unique learners in complex environments.
