SUMMARY:Collaborative Advantage – Interdependence and cooperation ac
 ross traditional boundaries
DESCRIPTION:Organisations define and redefine themselves in response t
 o new demands and opportunities that emerge from changing conditions. 
 The popular use of outsourcing, for instance, is a familiar strategy o
 ften driven by twin demands to cut costs and improve delivery. Public 
 and private enterprise now faces more complex systemic demands, which 
 challenge us to organise and cooperate across traditional boundaries.\
 n\nNew research demonstrates how collaborative inquiry can be a source
  of innovative thinking that improves both understanding and action. A
 t the same time, a collaborative approach has some significant implica
 tions in relation to our understanding of what good leadership and cha
 nge agency looks like.\n\nThe session will be led by Mike Jones. Mike 
 is Director of Learning and Leadership at Open Minds – a consultancy
  and think tank specialising in organisation, community and economic d
 evelopment. Mike has extensive cross-sector experience in leadership, 
 cultural change and organisational transformation. He recently led a r
 esearch project on collaboration, working with an advisory group of se
 nior leaders from both the public and private sector. Over the past te
 n years Mike has pioneered the practical application of complexity sci
 ence in organisations - particularly in the context of strategy, leade
 rship and sustainability.\n\nThe main session begins at 6.30pm and wil
 l end around 8.15 pm. It will then be followed by a buffet reception w
 here you will have the opportunity to meet the speakers, as well as sh
 are experiences and network with fellow delegates.\n\nFor further info
 rmation about this and all the workshops in the series and to book a p
 lace, please visit Cass's website.\n\nThe event costs £30 (£20 for s
 tudents, academics and those form the not-for-profit sector).\n\nFor m
