Collaboration Excellence
radical collaboration for radical innovation
Cross-organizational alliances and cross-functional collaboration have become an integral element of modern innovation. Open innovation and technology transfer are door openers for radical,
disruptive inventions.
They work best in an enviroment that supports radical collaboration.
Less than optimal framework conditions, communication barriers, "not-invented-here-syndrome" and the challenge to reconcile differing perspectives: these hurdles represent the primary challenges for cooperation projects and are often the main reasons for failure.
Sustainable success is created by a radical (= lat. from the root) collaboration culture that keeps a focus on the larger perspective.
