A week-long deep dive into how to use multi-stakeholder collaboration as a major driving force for progressive, intentional system change.

As a global civil society, we’re learning how to tackle entrenched social problems collaboratively – that is, by bringing together individuals from deeply different backgrounds, whose perspectives and interests are widely divergent, to wrestle with their competing needs, find common ground over time, and co-develop fresh, new, practical solutions that do indeed produce positive results.

Yet, it’s also true that multi-stakeholder change initiatives are expensive, time-consuming and difficult to manage. And even worse, they often fall apart long before they achieve their stated objectives. Far too many initiatives are poorly organized, with fuzzy goals, awkward communication dynamics, sloppy governance, and sparse accountability.

This September, Sam Kaner, PhD and Nelli Noakes, MBA, MPA from San Francisco's Community at Work are bringing their world-renowned workshop to – and Canada – for the first time.

Sam & Nelli will leave participants with the knowledge and competence to design effective collaborative strategy – the aspirational goals and the strategic goals, the stages and milestones, the structures and processes, the human dimensions and the logic dimensions.
