Community+
Spring 2022
Community development, community performance, community engagement, community health, community resilience—these are all community plus something else, and without the something else they don't quite work. So, this spring Collaborative Collision: Community+ is welcoming anyone and everyone who’s research, scholarship, or creative pursuits involve community— however you choose to define it.
Collaborative Collision: Community+ continues with Collaborative Incubator — a series of guided team development sessions in the weeks after Collaborative Connector which takes a new team through the process of developing a project, designing a collaboration plan that governs how the team works together, discovering the team's competitive advantage, and determining how to communicate their project to the right people, in the right way.
Each new team will be paired with a guide from ORD who will coordinate meetings and lead planning sessions, connect the team with resources and other potential collaborators, and ensure that the team builds the skills, habits, and rapport needed to solve complex problems and compete for external funding. Each team receives a unique process tailored to their specific strengths and weaknesses, designed to help them rapidly come together around a shared project.
We also help each team prepare a project proposal, produce a pitch video (including filming and editing), and rehearsing for the live question and answer portion of our Collaborative Accelerator program.
