Collaborating for Results

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'Leaders at all levels in complex organisations know the difficulties of achieving truly effective cross-functional and cross-business team working. High performing local teams can themselves become the stovepipes and silos that inhibit broader collaboration and innovation. Here is a book to help you - starting with the characteristics and behaviours of individuals and working through to the concept of Open Teams and how to develop them, as an integral part of your business and organisational development.' Professor Dame Julia King, Aston University, UK 'Wide-ranging and comprehensive. Willcock provides an excellent explanation of how change can really occur in organizations. He simultaneously illustrates the details of the change process and provides relevant examples from his considerable experience while keeping the big picture squarely in view. This is an immensely valuable roadmap for people in organizations and professionals alike.' Ethan Schutz, President & CEO, The Schutz Company, New York 'This is a practical guide to harnessing the power of relationships between people and teams in organisations to achieve strategic vision and to be future-capable in a fast-changing world.' Dr Mike Clarke, CEO, RSPB, UK 'This is a thoughtful and very perceptive examination of our natural tendency to want to work within silos and the problems this creates for businesses, small and large. The strategies suggested for encouraging collaboration both within and across different organisations are practical, sensible and easily implemented. They should be widely and universally adopted.' Alan Cook CBE, Chairman, Highways Agency, UK
