Abstract

Disruption to our daily business and functional lives is becoming more frequent, complex and costly. As leaders, what do we do with what we know, the support and tools we have, and our knowledge regarding the resources we need to acquire to navigate this disrupted world? One thing is clear: no one can do it alone. This is not a new concept — the ancient Greeks understood the power of the group. This paper argues that collaboration is the key to amplified knowledge, ability, energy, foresight and innovation, as there is obvious synergy when individuals, groups or organisations join together in a shared vision and with a dedicated purpose. This paper describes a process model developed by the Mid-Atlantic Center for Emergency Management & Public Safety to transform operational functions and spark quality engagement, the synergy of ideas and outcomes, and enhanced sustainability of purpose. This model uses a blend of new knowledge and experiences to build on collaboration models of the past, and has proven to be a success.
