How 2 Collaborate mini programme 2025 Workshop 1 'Introduction to collaborative working'

Workshop 1: Introduction to collaborative working

What is a ‘collaborative approach’ and what are the conditions for successful partnership? This workshop will describe the nuts and bolts of collaboration, explore what it looks for you, and highlight practical strategies for collaborating effectively. You will understand when to use a collaborative approach, the key differences between cooperation and collaboration, explore collaboration skills using glucard™ skill descriptors, key collaborative mindset characteristics and capture insights. We’ll consider a range of challenges that are common to partnership-working and look at how a number of other researchers have approached these challenges.

 

Introduction to collaborative working forms part of the mini programme – How 2 Collaborate – designed to help you to achieve your intended partnership outcomes using collaborative approaches and by developing your skills, capabilities and confidence.

The how2glu approach is practical, responsive and action-oriented. Using accessible methods, glucard™ visual tools and resources and supported by coaching and peer learning, you will create successful strategies to manage and develop relationships, set and achieve your intended outcomes. During the workshop, training facilitator Dr Sabina Strachan will demonstrate tools and capture your findings.

The programme has three main components:

  • X 2 online workshops (Introduction to collaborative working and Maximising collaborative studentship outcomes)
  • a 1-2-1 coaching session
  • and a self-assessment tool
