Antes de comenzar cualquier trabajo colaborativo, asegúrese de que todos entiendan el propósito y los objetivos del proyecto o tarea. ¿Por qué están trabajando juntos? ¿Qué estás tratando de lograr? ¿Cómo medirás tu éxito? Aclarar estas preguntas te ayudará a alinear tus expectativas, motivar a tu equipo y evitar confusiones o conflictos más adelante.

DREAM TOGETHER I love the practice of inviting people to dream together when it comes to their collaboration. What is the moonshot? What is the big hairy and audacious goals? What are we dreaming of for the future generations? How would seven generations from now be transformed by our collaboration? What would the world look like when we succeed? How would the lives of those we care about change because of what we are doing together? What do we need to let go now to make way for something else that is needed now and in the future? How can we morally re-imagine what is possible for all of us? These are just some of the questions to exploring dreaming and reimagining together.

In my experience, establishing a clear purpose and goals from the start of any collaborative work is paramount. This crucial step ensures that the entire team is aligned on the why and what of their collaboration. Providing such clarity, not only does it foster a shared vision, but it also significantly enhances motivation. It sets a definitive direction for the team and maintains a sharp focus on the end goals, minimizing the chances of confusion or conflict as the project progresses. A well-defined and shared purpose acts as a guiding beacon, keeping the team unified and concentrated, which is vital for effective collaboration and achieving successful outcomes.

If you're used to contributing a lot to a conversation, be mindful of that--try to step back and make space for others. If you're used to not actively contributing to the conversation, try to step up and share your perspective. If you're facilitating a group conversation, plan ways to enable people to reflect in advance and participate in different ways. #collaboration #communication #inclusion

Something I do with school aged kids and adults is share what my intentions for the project, lesson or team are. I then also ask participants what their intentions are for being involved. We then use the 2 to create a shared vision and direction for our collaborative work.
Diferentes personas tienen diferentes preferencias y estilos cuando se trata de colaboración. Algunos pueden ser más vocales y asertivos, mientras que otros pueden ser más tranquilos y reflexivos. Algunos pueden preferir trabajar de forma independiente, mientras que otros pueden prosperar con la interacción. Para fomentar la participación activa de todos, utilice métodos diversos e inclusivos que se adapten a las diferentes necesidades y fortalezas. Por ejemplo, puede utilizar una combinación de comunicación sincrónica y asincrónica, herramientas visuales y verbales, actividades individuales y grupales, y mecanismos de retroalimentación y reconocimiento.

A key piece of advice that has significantly improved my facilitation skills is learning to be comfortable with silence. Often, we rush to fill silent spaces with noise or additional perspectives, but I've found that embracing silence is a vital part of using diverse and inclusive methods. Embracing silence is crucial in collaborative work. It allows space for self-reflection and caters to different styles. Some excel in group brainstorming, others in solitude. Integrating structured silent periods and balancing group discussions with individual tasks can enhance participation. It also helps stop those who sometimes dominate the 'space'. This approach ensures that all team members can contribute meaningfully, regardless of their style.

In my experience, using diverse and inclusive methods is essential for promoting active participation in collaborative work. Recognizing and accommodating team members' varied communication and work styles is crucial. For example, blending synchronous and asynchronous communication enables thoughtful contributions from those needing more processing time. Incorporating visual and verbal tools caters to different learning preferences, enhancing understanding and engagement. Balancing individual and group activities ensures comfort while benefiting from collective intelligence. Implementing diverse feedback and recognition mechanisms acknowledges contributions, boosts morale, and fosters inclusion among team members.

Embracing diverse and inclusive methods in collaboration is key. People vary in communication styles, preferences, and strengths. Some are assertive, others reflective; some prefer solo work, others group dynamics. To engage all, employ a range of methods like sync and async communication, visuals, and verbal tools, solo and group tasks, plus feedback and recognition. This approach ensures everyone can contribute effectively and feel valued.

É interessante conhecer o perfil de cada pessoa, entender como o grupo funciona melhor. Uns vão preferir sessões presenciais, outros remotas. Alguns vão se conectar melhor com dinâmicas mais objetivas e outras pessoas, se tornam mais produtivas com dinâmicas mais lúdicas. Isso nos ajuda a trazer um senso de colaboração mais efetivo para nossas facilitações.

Think - pair - share. 1-2-4-all. Whatever you call it, give participants time to think alone before group work or discussion. It's one of the easiest methods to encourage engagement.
Una de las principales barreras para la participación activa en el trabajo colaborativo es el miedo al juicio, la crítica o el fracaso. Para superar esta barrera, crea un espacio seguro y de apoyo donde todos se sientan cómodos para expresar sus ideas, opiniones y emociones. Puede hacerlo estableciendo reglas básicas claras y respetuosas, modelando comportamientos positivos y constructivos, reconociendo y apreciando las contribuciones, y abordando y resolviendo los problemas de manera rápida y justa.

Establishing a genuine sense of psychological safety goes beyond just declaring "this is a safe space". In my experience, both in startups and larger corporations, the true measure of safety is reflected in how people behave and interact. Actions speak louder than words. For instance, in a project with a large organization, we implemented a policy of 'no idea is a bad idea' during brainstorming sessions. This was reinforced not just in words but in practice, by respectfully acknowledging every contribution and providing constructive feedback. In a startup environment, I emphasized leading by example, showing vulnerability and openness in my own communications, which encouraged others to do the same.

Creating a safe and supportive space is crucial for encouraging active participation in collaborative work. Fear of judgment inhibits open communication and idea sharing. Establishing clear, respectful ground rules fosters a non-judgmental environment. Leading by example with positive interactions encourages others to participate fearlessly. Valuing each contribution, no matter how small, builds confidence and a sense of belonging. Prompt and fair issue resolution reinforces this safe space, enhancing engagement in the collaborative process.

À chaque début d'atelier collaboratif la mise en place d'une sécurité psychologique ⛑️au sein du groupe est essentielle. La peur du jugement, de ne pas être à la hauteur peut empêcher la prise de parole🎙. Selon moi si le patron de l'équipe montre sa vulnérabilité lors de son Introduction cela va aider le groupe à verbaliser ses attentes et exprimer ses besoins💡. Et le collectif gagnera du 🕒 et partagera dans la sérénité🏳

Give everyone a chance to contribute and be heard. Some people are more shy than others and you may need to be more proactive in seeking their thoughts and opinions. Others need more time to reflect and process before they are ready to contribute. Getting to know your team on an individual level and adapting your style to be inclusive of others can provide the safe environment needed for everyone to contribute and feel valued.

Fostering a safe and supportive environment is paramount for active collaboration. Many hesitate due to fear of criticism. To break this barrier, establish a space where everyone feels free to share. Use clear, respectful rules, positive modeling, appreciation of contributions, and swift, fair issue resolution. This ensures a nurturing atmosphere where ideas flow freely, and everyone thrives.
Otra forma de fomentar la participación activa en el trabajo colaborativo es fomentar una cultura de curiosidad y experimentación. En lugar de ceñirte a los mismos métodos y soluciones de siempre, desafíate a ti mismo y a tu equipo a explorar nuevas posibilidades, hacer preguntas y probar hipótesis. Puede hacerlo mediante el uso de técnicas de lluvia de ideas, creación de prototipos y retroalimentación, así como proporcionando recursos, tiempo y apoyo para el aprendizaje y la innovación.

It's important to set the conditions for curiousity and experiementation. "Be creative" doesn't work. Have participants get out of the office or look for inspiration online to share with the others. Then jump into some doodling to encourage generative mindsets and ignore self sensoring.

Cultivating curiosity and embracing experimentation is key to boosting participation in collaborative efforts. Don't stick to the status quo; encourage your team to explore new avenues, ask questions, and test hypotheses. Utilize brainstorming, prototyping, and feedback methods. Also, allocate resources, time, and support for learning and innovation. This fosters a dynamic environment where creativity thrives, and everyone actively contributes.

Fostering a culture of curiosity and experimentation can significantly enhance active participation in collaborative efforts. Encouraging team members to leave their comfort zones and explore innovative solutions often leads to greater engagement. Methods such as brainstorming sessions, prototyping, and soliciting feedback can ignite creativity and enthusiasm within the team. Providing the necessary resources, allocating time for exploration, and showing support for innovative endeavors creates an environment where team members feel valued and empowered to contribute their unique ideas. This approach fosters a more dynamic and inclusive team dynamic and often leads to more creative and effective solutions.

From my own experience, fostering a culture of curiosity is key to active participation. Allowing people to explore new ideas and give thought to outside the box solutions can open up a wealth of opportunity. Providing time to discover and learn and a safe place to discuss ideas can lead to innovative and often untapped potential.

To foster curiosity and experimentation in collaborative work, create a culture that values open communication, welcomes diverse ideas, and acknowledges the importance of learning from failures. Encourage team members to share their thoughts without fear of judgment and provide opportunities for brainstorming sessions. Celebrate innovative solutions and emphasise that experimentation is a natural part of the learning process. Establish a safe space for feedback, allowing teams to refine their ideas and approaches. Additionally, allocate time specifically for exploration and personal projects to stimulate curiosity within the team.
Por último, la participación activa en el trabajo colaborativo depende en gran medida del nivel de confianza y compenetración entre los miembros del equipo. La confianza y la compenetración son las bases de la comunicación, la cooperación y la coordinación efectivas. Pueden generar confianza y una buena relación conociéndose, conociéndose personal y profesionalmente, compartiendo sus historias y experiencias, expresando sus intereses y valores, y mostrando empatía y respeto.
El trabajo colaborativo puede ser gratificante y productivo, pero también requiere la participación activa de todos los miembros del equipo. Al utilizar estas formas efectivas de facilitar la participación activa, puede crear una cultura de trabajo colaborativo que mejore el rendimiento, el aprendizaje y la satisfacción de su equipo.

In my experience, being realistic about the potential for conflict is helpful in building trust. By normalizing the possibility of disharmony at the outset, it opens up forward planning about how conflict will be addressed. It provides confidence to participants that tension will not be ignored nor will it necessary be very long lived. It is important to share the responsibility for the groups success to all participants and to create a culture of shared problem solving. This doesn't mean different roles and levels of responsibility should be ignored. On the contrary, they should be transparent whilst also recognising that all roles rely and benefit from each other.

In my view building trust is the foundation. All other points in this discussion should lead to trust. However trust takes time. Hence the route should be 1 . Create an acccessible , non threatening environment 2. Start building credibility 3 . Be willing to accept other view points. 4. Aim for conversations not competition. 5. Look at ways and means of helping others achieving their goals. While there may be other points, these are key to fostering collaboration.

Trust and rapport are the bedrock of successful collaboration. Effective communication and cooperation depend on these foundations. To build them, take time to know your team on personal and professional levels. Share stories, experiences, interests, and values. Show empathy and respect. Cultivating these connections ensures a collaborative culture where everyone actively engages, leading to enhanced performance, learning, and satisfaction.

Trust and rapport are crucial for fostering active participation in collaborative work. When team members feel connected and trust each other, it creates an environment for open communication, effective cooperation, and seamless coordination. Building this trust involves understanding each team member professionally and personally, sharing stories and experiences, expressing interests and values, and showing empathy and respect. This creates a comfortable space where team members feel valued and understood, encouraging active participation and contribution. Successful collaboration is about both tasks and relationships.

In order to build trust in your team, you need to foster an environment in which the word fear does not exist. If people are afraid to express their views because they anticipate retribution, you will never get the real facts, nor creative ideas. So, as a leader, in order to foster trust, it is essential to self regulate your moods and reactions to ideas you do not like, and welcome dissent when it is well reasoned, even if you disagree.

Der erste Schritt ist aus meiner Perspektive überhaupt zu entscheiden, welche Aufgaben/Arbeitsschritte sich für kollaborative Vorgehensweise eignen. Viele Menschen brauchen VOR kollaborativer Arbeit Zeit sich selbst und ihre Gedanken zu einem Thema zu sortieren und sich "hineinzudenken". Dazu fehlt in der heutigen hyper-kollaborativen Welt oft der notwendige Fokus / Fokuszeit. Und auch nach einer kollaborativen Sitzung sollte das Ziel sein, dass jeder sich nach seinen Stärken bestmöglich und auch wieder unabhängig von anderen einbringen kann. Hier ist es wichtig nach einer kollaborativen Session, die Aufgaben stärkenorientiert zu verteilen und mit gemeinsamen Zielen getrennt voneinandern weiterzuarbeiten. Dieser Schritt wird oft vergessen.

In addition to the excellent strategies listed, here are three other effective ways to encourage active participation in collaborative work: Try giving team members enough autonomy and responsibility over certain tasks or areas. When people feel a sense of ownership, they are more likely to be engaged and actively participate. Remember to recognize and celebrate successes. Acknowledge both individual and team achievements. Celebrating successes, big or small, can boost morale and encourage continued active participation. Utilize collaborative tools and technologies that facilitate easier communication and idea sharing among team members.

Invite healthy conflict. It’s often through the expression of differences (opinions, perspectives, needs) from which the ingredients of collaborative/win-win solutions are derived.

Active participation comes when participants are clear on the ask but still have freedom to express and go wild, it's a balance of freedom and structure. And effective facilitation to guide them in that divergence and convergence cycles with all the 'groan stage' transitions in between is what makes the collaboration effective- as participants are going wild when it is appropriate to and are getting critical when it is the right time, it helps to build a flow in the work that almost seems seamless to the participant, but the facilitator understands what is happening and how to shape it. It's easy to understand but hard to execute on; that's where a skilled facilitator in the room can make a big difference.

Use the expertise of each participant so that their knowledge and skills can complement each other. And have each participant introduce themselves so that they know each other a bit when they start. Set a standard that active participation is expected.
