Collaborate Better Across Boundaries

Working as a team gets harder when members are located in different places, have different work habits, and hold different loyalties. How well do team members span functional and cultural boundaries, leverage differences, and get more productive together? The Interaction Method™ is a facilitated approach for building understanding and agreement so that distributed teams can take informed action around the things that matter most.

Collaboration Consulting
You know the most about your situation. It's likely we know a lot about similar ones. First, we'll engage your team members in a collaborative pulse check. With your team, we'll develop a plan for staying connected, building trust and rapport, leveraging each other’s talents, and sharing responsibility for success. Early in the course of working together, the team will evolve.

Skills Training 
Our online training is designed for anyone whose job requires them to collaborate with people in other functions, regions, and across other potential boundaries. We can create custom programs to provide a common language and collaborative toolkit for your project leaders and team members.

Leadership Coaching
With a certified Collaboration Coach, you’ll define your coaching conversation goals. Common goals include: developing routines for maintaining alignment, keeping people connected, brokering communication, reconciling differences, and maintaining project momentum.

Key Meeting Facilitation
Our experienced meeting facilitators will help you design and guide a high-stakes meeting to a successful outcome. If you have a strong point of view or stake in the meeting content, leave the driving to an expert process facilitator.
