Free webinar - collaborating for results

David Willcock’s book Collaborating for Results: Silo Working and Relationships that Work was published by Gower in July 2013. Aston University Business School hosted a webinar on 10 October 2013 in which David provided some insights into the costs of and reasons for silo working and how to develop collaboration for results.

Where boundaries between individuals and teams become too rigid a lack of joined up thinking and working can result – otherwise known as ‘silo working’. Of course, silos can be helpful, such as grouping specialists into learning communities, focusing people on results and providing a map of who does what and where. However, where cooperation and collaboration is needed and there are barriers to achieving this, the cost to the organisation can be very high.

In this webinar session David outlines some of his thinking in the book based on:

  • 25 years of experience developing individuals, teams and organisations
  • relevant work published in the field of organisation development and psychology
  • research interviews with managers and consultants at senior levels across different sectors

More specifically, David:

  • expands on the costs of unproductive silo working for organisations
  • presents some of the key reasons for unproductive silo working in organisations
  • outlines some of the key principles and approach to developing collaboration for results
