This book shares the results of my investigation into why we collaborate, and the threats and rewards faced by our teams. It's built from real data, face-to-face interviews, surveys and an analysis of hundreds of project meetings and workshops. The book has three parts; why we collaborate, how to collaborate and what collaboration looks like. It comes with useful and practical resources. There are 100 method cards describing how to plan and collaborate digitally, as well as 150 method cards describing common topics of conversation necessary for project success.
