Principles for Collaborative Working get QRS and Wairoa District Council on the ‘same page’

“This has produced great outcomes for our business, the Wairoa District Council and the Wairoa Community.” QRS CEO Jeremy Harker, from Wairoa, talks about how the Principles for Collaborative Working that underpin successful collaboration, were used in work done by our very own Chris Olsen in 2017.

Duration: 1 minute

Olsen’s assistance helped to change a fractured relationship between Wairoa District Council and QRS, into a sustainable high-performing one with both parties now “on the same page”.

The Institute for Collaborative Working New Zealand – ICWNZ is hosting its Collaborative Working Practitioners Course in Auckland on 30 November and 1 December at Cliftons Conference Centre, and in Wellington on 23 and 24 March 2023.

These 12 Principles form the basis of our upcoming two-day Collaborative Practitioners Course that we have now delivered to around 120 people in NZ.

This course is based on 30 years of international best practice experience adapted for New Zealand, around maximising opportunities through collaborative working and minimising the risk of failure.

Evaluations of the courses we have run are consistently between 8 and 9 out of 10, for people being able to better improve the way they work collaboratively.

The upcoming courses, in Auckland and Wellington, will provide insights and demonstrate the importance of the 12 Principles of Collaborative Working.

They will have numerous breakout sessions for participants to build their knowledge and make available measuring tools to assist in assessing the performance of a Collaborative Relationship for identifying issues and gaps for continuous improvement actions.
