Collaboration

A practical guide for government executives and managers seeking to improve the effectiveness of public involvement activities, decision making, or problem solving. The handbook establishes a philosophical setting for Collaboration, and contains guidelines for establishing a group for collaborative decision making. The authors share lessons learned the hard way, and tools and techniques that will support the collaborative process. Designed to minimize time impacts on busy executives and managers, the book is only 46 pages in length - a quick read - and is written in practical, no nonsense prose. Yet the reader will be ready to undertake a collaborative effort upon its completion.
