Going Beyond the Cliché of Working Smarter: The Power of Collaboration & Teamwork
Seats Filled: 16 / 36
Location:REGION 10 ESC (SPRING VALLEY), Hunt Room
Contact Person: Kelly Bevis Woodiel
Important Breakout Information:
"If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.” It's no secret that working together is more effective than working in a silo. Every team member boasts their own unique set of skills, ideas, and interests. Working together collaboratively allows each team member to share their ideas, understand how their peers think, and brainstorm new concepts together to achieve targeted outcomes. Collaboration encourages staff to bring their expertise to the table, in turn, teaching one another new things along the way. Not only does it open up communication and opportunities for teams to try new things, but it also encourages problem-solving to eliminate roadblocks. Collaboration is a key pillar to a team's growth. If it is not part of the team's routine workflow, collaboration can be counterproductive. Join us as we go beyond the cliche by working through five pillars of what it means to truly work smarter together: We will … 1. Identify strengths and talents, 2. Establish roles and responsibilities 3. Facilitate a flow of meaningful communication, 4. Use productivity tools, 5: Rethink habits and practices.
