On April 17th, we held an RBL Institute Mini Forum conference call on “Building a Culture of Collaboration” – a topic chosen by our member CHROs via our annual member survey.

Finding new ways to create a culture that truly fosters corporate collaboration has never been so important to business success as it is today.  New forms of technology such as social media have created the opportunity for masses of people from all around the world to work together, share ideas, and connect with experts both inside and outside the company.  Creative new business partnerships such as joint ventures are leading companies to collaborate to drive more innovation and growth.  Within companies, the need for higher levels of productivity is breaking down barriers that have traditionally gotten in the way (e.g., corporate silos, hierarchical structures, and bureaucracy).

During the call we dedicated our time together to address three specific questions on building a culture of collaboration. 

1. What specific success stories concerning collaboration can you share and what have you learned?

2. What skills & capabilities are you finding most needed to build a culture of greater collaboration?

3. What key challenges is your organization facing in fostering greater collaboration?
