Collaboration isn’t a “nice-to-have.” It’s a non-negotiable skill and a strategy for impactful systems change in the 21st century.
In this webinar, Nia Davis Sigona of Root + Bloom Strategies shares her elegant 3-prong approach to collaboration for systems change. The framework is designed to break down silos, foster meaningful partnerships, and create lasting impact.
The three key components of this approach are:
1. COMING TOGETHER: Start by grounding yourself in the work and building a network. Acknowledge the larger picture, practice humility, and foster authentic relationships to build a shared understanding of the issue at hand.
2. FOCUSING ENERGY: Develop a clear, shared vision (your "North Star") that guides the collective effort and prioritizes your desired goal.
3. SUSTAINING & EVOLVING: Collaboration is a long-term commitment. It's a continual practice that means creating supportive structures and adapting to an evolving ecosystem.
Collaboration is a SKILL that can be developed and a STRATEGY that can drive profound change.
