Cultivating Creative Collaboration

All too often in business, people and teams have been led to be competitive and to work independently: the very antitheses of creative collaboration! Co-operation and interdependence not competition and independence, lead the way to collaborative working. As business is increasingly more complex, collaboration is needed now more than ever to capitalise on people’s diverse talents and creativity to reach goals more effectively, especially in these unusual, challenging Covid times.
