The ITx 2016 Programme may change without notice
Collaboration is built on understanding and on mutually agreed objectives.
All parties need to clearly understand and support the achievement of defined goals in order to collaborate on a solution. But when the parties don’t agree, either on the goals themselves or on the tactics for achieving the goals, projects come to a standstill. Or projects go forward without really achieving anything useful in the end.
In this session we will review and practice key techniques for effective listening and inquiry to ensure truly hearing, processing and comprehending those with whom we need to collaborate.
We will discuss how to use targeted imagination to think creatively about what may be important to the person/people we are talking with.
With imagination we can find questions to ask that will uncover important areas of agreement or discord.
Participants will receive a checklist to use to spark thinking and creative questioning.
