The Components
Robert uses the following components to facilitate a systemic approach for our collaborations.

COMMUNICATION
Clear communication is important at every level of an organization. We will focus on:

• clarifying our message
• awareness of how our words affect others
• recognizing and acknowledging different points of view

COMMUNITY
A collaborative community doesn't just happen. We need tools and methods that develop the potential of our community. We'll support our growth through:

• regular thoughtful exercises
• working in a variety of groups
• learning from modeling

STRATEGIES
The strategies we use will support the programs currently in place. The goal is to develop a common culture that builds a relationship between the different programs.

• visual thinking
• surfacing knowledge
• language development

ENVIRONMENT
We will look with a thoughtful eye on our working environment and how we make use of it. We will use a variety of strategies to expand on successes and implement ideas that support a refined learning environment:

• knowing + sharing our environment strengths
• designing our space
• maximizing existing conditions

REFLECTION
Brain research shows regular reflection is essential to learning. We will use several tools to stimulate and enhance active reflection.

• idea books
• video
• regular sharing
