What makes a project succeed? What makes it fail?

In this course, a simple model (The Six Pillars of Collaboration) is presented.

Participants will identify and learn to recognize the fundamentals required to make a collaborative effort succeed.

Time is spent on each topic to assess its importance and what happens when one pillar’s foundation is weak.

Classic pitfalls are identified.

The model is resilient and is applicable to small or large collaborative efforts, within one own’s company or across several organizations.

We will spend more time on one of the fundamentals: Team Cohesion (not Team Building – the nuance will be explained) with attention brought to the impact of working with partners of different nationalities.

The course is offered in a lively and interactive manner and draws on the presenter’s extensive experience and interests including:

• Adventure-Racing in the jungle of the Philippines and the sertão of Brazil
• Existing large-scale industrial projects (some more successful than others) from Abu Dhabi, Alberta (CAN), Argentina, Colorado

while also venturing into analyzing …

• A civil war, the heydays of polar exploration, the Olympic pledge, why a team of superstars can lose to lesser teams etc.

As a bonus, the conclusion will bring you one more use that you would not have thought of at the beginning of the training session.
