All six dimensions of collaborationTeam

    Team Collaboration

    How well do we work together?

    Team Collaboration occurs when a defined group of people work together toward shared goals.

    Effective team collaboration depends on the relationships and working conditions between people, not only on their individual ability.

    A group of capable individuals does not automatically make a collaborative team.

    The quality of a team is set by what happens between people, not inside them.

    An expanding boundary of collaboration

    The dimensions are nested, but they are not independent. System collaboration still depends on people being able to build trust. Industry collaboration still depends on organisations working across boundaries. Planetary collaboration ultimately depends on millions of individuals, teams and institutions learning to collaborate more effectively.

    • Individual I collaborate.
    • Team We collaborate.
    • Organisation Our organisation collaborates.
    • Industry Our industry collaborates.
    • System We collaborate across boundaries.
    • Planetary We collaborate for the whole.
