  • Playbook: A Leader’s Guide to Cross Sector Collaboration

Recognising the challenges and complexities of collaboration, WIG has published the Collaboration Playbook. Researched and written by the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford, WIG’s Collaboration Playbook is an evidence-based, practical guide to the fundamentals of collaboration.

Focusing on the aspects of collaboration that are less tangible and often forgotten – leadership, trust, culture, power and learning – the Playbook will support leaders at all levels to:

    1. understand when it’s right to pursue collaboration.
    2. consider the subtleties and nuances of collaboration that influence outcome.
    3. seize the opportunity of collaboration and rise to its challenges.
