We explore what Collaboration New Zealand is all about, some of what Carlie and Graeme see as special about the gathering, and some insights into the creativity that comes in this unique collaborative setting.

It’s my privilege to speak with Sharon Fraser and Jennifer Chaplin, two of the three founding directors of an Australian consultancy called Clarion Call. Sharon brings her experience in the health system together and Jennifer brings experience from the service system. Both Jennifer and Sharon have a huge depth of experience and skill for creating spaces where community voices can be heard, and systems level change can occur. In our conversation, today we touch a little on what Sharon and Jennifer do, some of the key collaboration ingredients and examples, and then we spend some time unpacking the idea of collaborative governance. Please enjoy our conversation.

I happened across Tai Lake and the Hawaii Artists Collaboration by accident, and I am so grateful that I did. In this episode, Tai shares his perspectives on the creative power of collaboration and the ability to bring together masters of the craft to grow their skills and their vocabulary. I found his enthusiasm for collaboration more than a little infectious, and I am grateful that we were able to connect.
Our conversation makes me think about the kind of people we bring into collaborative work and the level of maturity or mastery in an area of expertise that they represent. Tai talks about leaving your ego out and coming together to raise the state of the craft overall.

In this repost of a season 1 episode, I’m joined by Kerry Graham, one of the co-founders of Collaboration for Impact which is an Australian organization working to support systems-level change on important issues like youth incarceration, social issues, health, and more. This is incredibly interesting work, because it's dealing with issues that are often created by the system itself – about making change that is bigger than any one organization or group. Kerry and her co-founder Liz Skelton have just passed the reins for Collaboration for Impact to Anna Powell, and I wanted to reflect on Kerry's insights and experiences. I think you’ll enjoy this look at collaboration from a system perspective and hearing some of the stories of this type of collaboration.
