Abstract:

Research has shown if an organization wishes to maximize time, talent and tools to create value it requires the culture of collaboration Rosen, 2007. Aligning organizational strengths combined with the right skills will create efficiency. Additionally, strong collaborative skills increase natural enthusiasm across an entire organization, and leverage effectiveness of all relationships supporting a healthy environment that is accepting to change, shared decisions, creative problem solving, and more trust across the organization Tamm, Luyet, 2004. Research has also shown that a balanced approach may be an appropriate path in that not all collaboration creates value. Specific collaboration barriers and opportunities can be targets that produce the most benefit. Hansen 2009
