New Collaboration Laboratory set to Open its Doors
Valley Vision launched a bold new initiative last year to share the lessons we have learned about how to create effective partnerships and collaborations that achieve results - a critical 21st century skill for everyone. We call it the "Collab Lab" - a place where years of practical experience drawn from over 65 complex regional collaborations managed by Valley Vision collides with the science of collaboration brought by nationally recognized experts in their field. A key component of our emerging Collab Lab is Collab U - a fun and experiential learning workshop where community members can come and learn the art and practice of starting and building high performing collaborative efforts. Be on the look out for an announcement of our inaugural workshop dates, and visit at our new Website at
www.collablab.us.
