The Lodestar Foundation: The Collaboration Prize While Lodestar is mainly a grantmaking foundation, our primary operating program is The Collaboration Prize. During the first several years of our work supporting nonprofit collaborations, we became increasingly aware of the lack of written material providing a diversity of models of successful collaborations from which nonprofits could study, learn and emulate. Indeed, we found that there were many perceived obstacles to collaboration that discouraged nonprofits from even considering collaboration as an option. We decided that if a wide variety of successful models was available, nonprofits would be encouraged to pursue collaboration with more confidence. We concluded that the most efficient way to collect such models was through The Collaboration Prize, a national contest to financially reward the best nonprofit collaboration. In 2008, we initiated the first Collaboration Prize contest. For more information on The Collaboration Prize, please visit: www.thecollaborationprize.org.
General theory of collaboration for detailed steps and processes used in progressive business, academic and creative groups see collaborative method. General theory of collaboration[edit] Currently there exists no consolidated, general theory of collaboration (GTC). Collaboration is fostered when there is an expected beneficial outcome by the collaborators. The more significant the causal outcome, the higher the participation and commitment level will be amongst collaborators. Successful Collaboration has been described as Synergy, where the sum is greater than all the parts; i.e. 2+2=5. References to theories of collaboration[edit] The literature is somewhat lacking in general theories of collaboration, but one review by Wood and Gray [1] claims that any comprehensive theory of collaboration must address: Directions for inspiration[edit] Collaboration is a subject of research in many diverse and disparate fields. Sociology[edit] Perhaps the 'ology' a GTC is most likely to belong to, is sociology. Demographics[edit]
Towards a New Kind of Collaboration A Networked Approach to Social Change | Venture Philanthropy Partners April 2010 It seems that almost everywhere you go these days, nonprofit and foundation leaders alike are talking about ways to foster and increase collaboration. In these difficult times, when resources seem to be vanishing while the demand for services continues to increase, it makes sense that organizations consider working together to make available resources go further and perhaps achieve greater results. In principle, everyone wants to collaborate, but the reality of making it happen is extremely tough. The reality of the current funding system for nonprofits is that these organizations find themselves competing against the very organizations with whom they might collaborate. Yet research in the last few years shows that collaborating, and more specifically, partnering with more than one organization to create a network for change, can allow nonprofits to have much greater impact than they could ever have on their own. - Carol Thompson Cole
Wikinomics Getting past the collaboration buzz word It seems as though we’re labeling every type of cooperative activity as “collaboration” these days. Every company wants to be seen as collaborative and every enterprise solution wants to sell the benefits of collaboration. It’s gotten to the point where everything from Wikipedia, to polling your customers, to a simple conversation between co-workers is being dubbed as “collaboration.” A recent report from the Economist Intelligence Unit suggests that adopting a broad definition for collaboration can be detrimental and can in fact detract from “true” collaborative efforts. From the report: Research shows the term “collaboration” is used to cover the gamut—from projects designed to cut costs, increase efficiency and improve compliance to those involving working with outsiders to develop new products. According to the study, the top three uses of true collaboration among large enterprises ($10 billion+ revenues) are: improving internal processes, increasing efficiency, and lowering costs.
