Navigating collaboration.
Collaboration comes in many forms, but the most challenging ones are the partnerships with highly contradictory stakes, socially sensitive topics, or the need to deliver quality results under time pressure. The climate transition checks all these boxes. These partnerships take on difficult tasks to find sustainable solutions, and they are more important than ever.
The project 360Tomorrow is created to address the most pressing challenges together. These include building trust, sharing finances, making group decisions, and maintaining a manageable workload. By finding ways to navigate them efficiently, we can drive collaboration as a powerful response to the opportunities and challenges of today.
Step by step
With a diverse group of partners, we gain the unique ability to view issues from a 360-degree perspective. Which leads to more effective and sustainable solutions. The ambition is to expand 360Tomorrow into a dynamic hub of inspiration for collaboration in the climate transition, where you can find inspiring interviews, leading examples, and practical work tools. For now, you are invited to explore the approach, check out the e-book, or reach out — let’s connect over coffee and conversation!
Benefits and challenges of collaboration
Combining the unique strengths of partners
We can pair the agility of start-ups with the thorough research of knowledge institutions, and the market efficiency of corporations with the societal perspective of governments. In addition, it facilitates the exchange of relevant expertise across industries and sectors.
Accelerating sustainable transitions
New ideas emerge when we share knowledge and resources. Through this same interaction, we encourage each other to adopt new habits and attitudes, which can gradually but steadily shift the way we work.
Partnerships increase our resilience
Whether on an individual, organizational, or societal level, we are better equipped to face disruptions when we work together. A strong support network allows us to distribute risk, exchange aid, and share responsibility, all of which lead to faster adaptation and recovery.
Collaborating requires time and effort
Working outside traditional silos sounds promising, but it can also raise questions about ownership or create unintended complications. It can be challenging to ensure that the workload remains effective, solution-oriented, and manageable.
The need to compete is equally relevant
We are very much used to relying on the benefits of competitive advantage, which is why we often find it difficult — unnatural even — to share our best assets. We worry that this could threaten, for example, our autonomy, business model, or welfare.
Getting the outcomes approved
Trading individual stakes for “the greater good” is a delicate process. Negotiations and compromises are essential to finding common ground among all partners’ principles and objectives, but are often misunderstood or underappreciated by internal stakeholders.
E-book: 8 building blocks
Working together opens many doors to promising opportunities, but the day-to-day reality can be quite challenging. Many organizations struggle to preserve their intellectual property, competitive advantages, and autonomy in the process. Protecting valuable assets is often just as important as sharing them to achieve strategic goals.
This e-book presents eight practical foundations for effective interdisciplinary collaboration, offering advice and inspiration for anyone looking for a starting point or actionable insights.
About
With a background in project management and communications, I have navigated multiple complex collaborations in both national and international settings. I started this project to address the challenges I encountered and to further develop what I enjoy most: building bridges between people, projects, and solutions in the context of the climate transition. I would be more than happy to collaborate, gather feedback, and exchange ideas!
Looking forward to connecting,
Nicole
