What We Believe
Years of work in creating breakthroughs, international implementation of alliances, research of best practices, and both operational and consulting experience has taught us some important lessons:
- Collaboration increases innovation, reduces non-value added work, improves productivity;
collaboration is the primary source of value creation.
- People support what they help to create,
therefore engage those who will be impacted by changes in the design of a new system.
- Best Practices shift the potential of achieving success, (“Bext” practices are the next-gen to evolve)
organizations that fail to use Best Practices fail more frequently and increase their Risk Profile dramatically
- Three things are absolutely essential for a Collaborative Leader to get right:
- Align on a Common Vision & Strategy that produces sustainable Competitive Advantage
- Build a Culture of High Performance Teamwork & Trust
- Orient Operational Processes, Metrics & Rewards to fit the new vision and culture
- Differentials in thinking drives innovation,
but without a foundation of trust, differences become dysfunctional, disruptive, and even destructive.
- 80-90% of what you need to know already exists in your organization,
collaborative innovation taps into the creative capabilities already genetically encoded in people.
- 90-95% of people are naturally collaborative and prefer to work in teams, as long as trust prevails;
only a small percentage are naturally adversarial, but they can be very dangerous.
- Sharing expands, hording contracts;
courage enlarges, cowardice shrinks resources and opportunities.
- Culture, not personality, drives the majority of human behavior;
Leaders are the primary determinants of how culture will bring out the best or worst in people.
- There is a “design framework” behind every successful result,
and once you understand the “architecture” you can translate learning from one organization to another.
The Trust Institute works with senior executives and their management teams in companies that are committed to achieving extraordinary results through breakthroughs generated from a foundation of collaboration.
We are dedicated to the universal adoption of the architecture, skills and philosophies of collaborative innovation to think, create and work together, producing results far beyond
