The following table offers concrete reflexes, practices and self-assessment questions to help you harness collective intelligence and build collaborative teams:

DEVELOPMENT AXIS

KEY ACTIONS AND QUESTIONS

Reflexes (Immediate actions)

• If I feel tempted to solve a problem on my own, I ask myself: “Who else could I involve to enrich the solution?” • If a discussion becomes stuck, I suggest using a structure (e.g. round-robin sharing, silent brainstorming) to encourage participation • If a team success is being celebrated, I make sure to publicly acknowledge the contribution of each team member • Establish team rituals that foster cross-functional collaboration (e.g. weekly demos, project reviews). • Use visual collaboration tools (virtual whiteboards, etc.) to co-create solutions and action plans. • Clearly define and communicate roles and responsibilities for each project to avoid silos and duplication of effort

Practices (Habits to cultivate)

Self-Assessment and Reflection (Questions for reflection)

• How are decisions made within our team? Are they sufficiently collaborative? • Do team members feel comfortable asking for help or challenging one another’s ideas? • What are the main barriers to effective collaboration between departments, and how can I help overcome them?
