Jeannette discusses the importance of creating a culture of collaboration within large organisations, outlining eight key ways to build a collaborative culture, ranging from executive support and creating the right environment, to modelling collaborative behaviour and fostering a sense of community.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Creating a culture of collaboration is crucial for maximising skills, resources, and experience within an organisation.
• As organisations grow larger, collaboration becomes more challenging due to scale, diversity, virtual teams, and highly skilled individuals.
• Eight ways to build a culture of collaboration include executive support, creating the right environment, modelling collaborative behaviour, fostering a gift culture, implementing HR practices, ensuring requisite skills, supporting a sense of community, and having the right team leaders and structure.
• Executive support sets the tone for collaboration throughout the organisation.
• HR practices should include rewarding and recognizing collaborative efforts to encourage teamwork.

BEST MOMENTS

"A culture of collaboration is absolutely critical because when people collaborate, then they bring their best to the team and you're able to really maximise the skills, the resources and the experience that you have."

"Those are the four characteristics that make a large organisation successful, but also they're the four reasons why collaboration can be harder."

"Are you demonstrating collaboration in the way that you are conducting yourself at work? So, you know, very often all eyes are on the boss."

"So as organisations grow, as they get bigger, become more diverse, maybe more virtual, different offices, etc. This can become harder."
