What collaboration tools do you currently use with your teams?

Chances are you probably answered this question with the brand name of an agile project management software program. Is this really what drives collaboration in our teams? Is it as simple as a piece of software?

The research is clear: high performing team require great collaboration. While project management software is helpful, real collaboration can only occur when it is actively built within teams. We need tools and skills beyond software in order to increase collaboration in our teams.

Attend this session to explore how collaboration impacts performance, understand what ingredients promote collaboration, and gain hands on practice using new tools to supercharge collaboration and team performance.

"Companies know that they derive greater creativity and innovation from teamwork - but what, they wonder, makes a great team?"  -Margaret Heffernan

The research is clear: High performing teams are extremely rare, but their ability to impact an organization is limitless. If we know this is what we're aiming for, why is high performance so elusive and how can organizations and leaders create environments where it can flourish?

In this unique session, participants will have the opportunity to observe and interact with a high performing team (live and in the flesh!), discuss what makes them a great team, and learn about the various roles that make them who they are. Through performance and a facilitated conversation, the Ars Nova Chamber Orchestra (ancoselfconducted.org), Washington DC's premier self-conducted orchestra, will offer insights into their organizational dynamics. You will observe and discuss what makes them tick and take away practical examples of how you can supercharge the teams you work with or coach.
