Collaborative Change is the achievement of mutually desired outcomes through the purposeful experience of sharing among two or more people. Many powerful collaborative change approaches are being used around the world to transform organizations, revitalize communities, and develop human potential - and methods and practices based on these new approaches are continuing to proliferate.
This growing resource for the methods and tools of Collaborative Change & Innovation brings together more than 100 perspectives on Collaborative Change (methods, tools, techniques) on Collaborative Change including a User Guide with history, context, supporting frameworks, and ‘how-to’ content — with more to come. This digital-first resource includes a full chapter devoted to each method, covering purpose, principles, process, keys to mastery, and the approaches’ theoretical and empirical underpinnings. Mixed media resources (video, podcasts, etc.) as well as relevant links and additional resources are also provided. In addition, rich user-guide content will support you in selecting, applying, blending, and using the methods — to adapt them to your unique situations. The result is a living and growing community of knowledge that you can access on our webapp!
A subscription to this growing resource is available now at early adopter pricing for just $10/month. Contact us for promotional codes in specific use cases to leverage the resource in your leadership, or OD&C courses or trainings, for example.
The Collaborative Change Library is a rich, curated content resource that include all of the most widely used collaborative change methods including, for example:
Appreciative Inquiry, Graphic Facilitation, Open Space Technology,
Drum Café, Whole Scale Change, Future Search, Charettes, T-Groups
World Café, Art of Convening, etc.
… as well as dozens of new and emerging methods that have proven themselves highly useful but are not yet as widely known (and have not appeared in previous compendiums) like:
Constellations, Liberating Structures, the Collaborative Arts,
Fuel Box, Collaborative Care, Change Days, Full Voice,
Applied Improvisation, Genuine Contact
and many more.
All of this knowledge is available as digital-first content on the myLibrary webapp that provides access to the library from divide with a web browser. Continuous updates include new methods, practices, and applications. More than 80 full chapters are currently available, with more than 100 snapshot method overviews and another 50+ perspectives in various production stages for publication. This encyclopedic publication will save readers a great deal of time — and make them more productive and effective in their work — by bringing together methods, tools, practices, and approaches that are currently scattered in scores of different books, articles, and websites.
At the foundation of this work is a growing and emerging living community of knowledge that is serving those with a passion for Collaborative Change: Leaders, scholars, practitioners, educators, students, and organizers who have put forth a collective request for a more permanent solution to content development and curation. This request includes a desire for the masters of the work, the thought leaders and founders in the field — to mentor the next generation.
