Collaboration – three legged stool

Behavioural Risk We are good at technical risks and challenges that follow patterns. • When we dig deeper, even technical risks are hugely reliant on • behavioural impact of the team. Mostly around effective communication. To achieve the fully successful collaborative endeavour we need to • understand the behavioural risks alongside technical. They need to be understood, monitored and managed.

Where do the Behavioural Risks lie? Shadow of the leadership • Middle management • Often collaboration is not seen in attitude • Training and development needed • – Action learning sets – Innovative learning techniques

Developing Behavioural Awareness

Antecedence Take time to understand what is driving behaviour • – National culture – Organisational culture – Commercial position – Individual traits

Data about Behaviour You track project progress but…….. How well do you monitor team effectiveness? • Do you identify Early Warning Signals? • Do you create a safe environment to feedback in? • Do you create feedback loops? • Generating behavioural data and acting on it will improve your project.

Dialogue, learning and development Use the data to concentrate on pertinent issues • Data allows the issues to be dealt with rather than shooting the • messenger The dialogue will uncover learning and development opportunities • Interventions, short and often •

Supporting your collaboration Design the desired relationships – collaborative / transactional • Invest in the relationships early • Understand antecedence • Develop behavioural awareness • Monitor and manage relationships and behaviours • Look for early warning signals • Deal with issues early • Create an inclusive feedback loop •
