Innovation has always been a core driver of growth at most organizations and collaboration is key to driving it. Collaboration facilitates the exchange of ideas and thoughts among team members who then weigh in on them with collective expertise.

This book is based on a new paradigm which can create the change organizations need. It reveals how to understand, analyze, create and improve all forms of collaborations, with one generic and powerful roadmap. Demonstrated by many examples from organizations, this book defines the architecture of collaborations. The first and second chapters discuss the complexity that characterizes the world today and the changes related to the issue of collaboration, which has become extremely central in our time. Then the book describes the key barriers to cooperation, also defined as our "blind spots" with a list of the ten most common traps and barriers. Most of the time we do not correctly identify our failures and our responsibility for their formation, and therefore we do not produce the appropriate responses to those failures. The book then continues to deal mainly with the architecture of collaborations, describing a structured and systematic model for the effective management of collaborations, with complementary aspects. Other chapters deepen our understanding of Collaborative Leadership, Collaborative Intelligence, the new role of CCO, Coopetition and practical solutions for strengthening collaboration in and between organizations.

Alongside these are references to different sectors and inter-sectoral partnerships, inviting readers to focus on what is close to their heart.
