Nurturing the Collaborative Process

Abstract

“Nurturing” is a term not often used in relation to line management, and yet it is an accurate description of one of the major facets of sustaining an effective collaborative process. Of course there are pragmatic steps that one must take in collaborating—to structure the collaboration, allocate resources, project manage key pieces of work. However, the heart of a collaborative effort is a group of human beings, any one of whom can walk away from the process if there is not enough in it for them. Maintaining their enthusiasm and commitment is essential—and enthusiasm and commitment cannot be dictated from above. It can only be nurtured and encouraged, and this needs to happen throughout the lifespan of the collaborative venture.
