High Collaboration Frameworks for Teams

High Collaboration Frameworks (HCFs) are tools designed to conduct professional value-added activities in ways that minimize or eliminate collaboration dysfunctions to obtain high quality results from such activities. The purpose is to solve a problem, train, educate, persuade or conduct other activities whose purpose is not entertainment.

Reduced to its formal essence, a collaboration framework is an activity among two or more independent decision-makers seeking to achieve their objectives in some limiting context.

This Training focuses on collaboration frameworks useful to knowledge work teams, be them technical or non-technical.
