Leading Multi-Stakeholder Collaborations for an Everyone a Changemaker World

Driving deep social change most often requires us to work in collaboration with diverse stakeholders on shifting a system together. While such multi-stakeholder collaboration can have a transformational impact on a system, it also comes with its own challenges and requires a specific type of leadership and strategy to be effective.

What is this experience all about? 

Join our online learning journey where we unpack the essential conditions for multi-stakeholder collaboration that we are all missing, to help make our collaborations more effective, equitable and systemic and where we deep dive into the how we can develop this kind of collaboration effectively. Participants leave with the practical tools and mindsights needed to strengthen their own collaboration processes and their collaborative leadership skills. ​

Learning Journey comprises of 2 Phases:

1- Foundations for Collaboration – We share the key frames, mindsets and enabling conditions for collaboration as well as the essential cultural and leadership dynamics, qualities, and actions for collaboration. Learning groups are formed and peer-to-peer learning is initiated through live learning sessions.

2- Deepening your Collaboration Practice – We dive deeper into the resources in presented in Module 1. We explore the key elements of successful collaborations by following the journey of a real-life case study and by diving deep into the key lessons, enabling conditions, patterns, and frameworks that supported their success. We then reflect on how the learnings inform our awareness, intention, and choices as leaders – and where we feel confident or not in working this way. Peer-to-peer learning continues with live-learning sessions and is strengthened by proposed community calls where participants can use the space to address their own collaboration cases and support one another in their respective cases. Participants are co-creators and enhance co-creative capacities of the whole group.

For a complete learning journey, we recommend participating in both phases. Phase 2 complements phase 1 as it is designed to go more in depth into the tools that are first introduced. In certain cases where one is at an early stage in their collaboration journey, phase 1 might suffice to get the basic foundation of entering a collaboration. For those specific cases, there will be the opportunity to choose further continuation in Phase 2 right after Phase 1.

Why you should apply?

This co-learning journey is for social entrepreneurs and change leaders from any sector who are either driving a multi-stakeholder collaborative initiative for systems change or are planning to do so.

The complete learning journey is for you if you,

  • already convene stakeholders across boundaries and organize networks
  • want to learn about the strategies, processes, insights, and resources available to create successful conditions for even the most complex of collaborations, and apply them directly to your work.
  • want to leave with tools and methodologies to facilitate multi-stakeholder collaborations with alignment, engagement & momentum
  • want to establish strong peer connections and exchange knowledge with other social entrepreneurs and change leaders — also beyond the course.
  • are willing to embark on an intensive learning journey that also includes inner work

You may only choose to take part in Phase 1 if:

  • You are interested in or contemplating starting a collaboration.
  • You want to gain the foundation and acquire key insights on how to enter a collaboration, but do not have a practical application for it yet.
  • You are not ready to dive into depth into the tools for multi-stakeholder collaboration and reflect on them with peers.
  • You are willing to embark on a more compact and intense learning journey

 

Everyone | We are offering this learning journey (valued at $2K/person), free of costs to all participants who are interested in joining. However, in order to allow us to keep making these offers free, we encourage you to give voluntary donations of any amount to our knowledge development team.
