How can we equip people to collaborate for excellence across walls and distance?

SMART Collaboration is a performance support platform designed to help multiple people and organizations collaborate for higher performance.  Through a combination of group training, technical assistance, and web-based tools, the SMART Collaboration platform brings high-impact performance support to multiple organizations at a highly efficient cost per participant. 

Collaboration has great potential if it is properly focused on to produce results.  Without this kind of focus, collaboration can drift and lose momentum.  That's why SMART Collaboration begins with a set of objectives that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound.  This focus is established during the design phase and sustained throughout the project. 

Once the project objectives are set, a SMART Collaboration platform can be custom designed to fit the needs of the project.  A typical platform includes three levels of support: group learning events, individualized technical assistance, and a secure web-based portal for knowledge exchange.  SMART Collaboration can be used to support: 

  • Learning Communities - for leadership development, knowledge management, continuing education, training, and more.

  • Communities of Practice - where professionals exchange ideas and knowledge for improving performance.

  • Project Management - for collaborative project planning and execution.

  • Community Engagement - to engage community stakeholders in research, education, and dialogue.

Over the years we have found that SMART Collaboration offers five important advantages over traditional training or consulting models:

  • Reach & Continuity.  A SMART Collaboration Platform can reach many people across walls and distance with the help of a continuously available web-based resource center. 

  • Leveraging.  A SMART Collaboration Platform can leverage knowledge from external experts and the collaborative participants themselves, and deliver that knowledge to each participant's desktop.

  • Accountability. Clients can log into a SMART Collaboration Platform website at any time check performance.

  • Scalability.  A SMART Collaboration Platform can be easily expanded to serve more people at a stable or declining unit cost. 

  • ROI. On a per-participant basis a SMART Collaboration Platform can deliver more value for the dollar than traditional training or consulting..
