What is covered in this Collaboration Principles course?

Our online Collaboration Principles training course is broken down into the following sections and can be completed at your own pace. The course includes:

Module	What it includes
Finding a Shared Purpose	Even at the best of times, collaboration in the workplace can be tricky to manage. When you don't have a clear purpose for the collaboration, things can get out of hand – fast! In this section, we look at the definition of collaboration, what the goals are and why it's so important. We go through what the purpose of your collaboration in the workplace should be and when collaboration is useful. This section contains a short quiz to further your understanding of the content so far.
Effective Communication	At the heart of collaboration is working together, and that requires communication. In this section, we will delve into the role communication plays during collaboration and the different type of communication that can be very useful. We give you some tips on getting communication right, so your collaboration goes as smoothly as possible. Following this, there is a quiz to check your understanding.
Knowledge Sharing	Part of communication is knowledge sharing, which we explore in greater detail during this section. We give an example of sharing knowledge between people, teams, and levels of a hierarchy in the workplace,. You'll also learn the difference between collaboration and teamwork and how to cultivate a sharing attitude. We give you some scenarios with follow-up questions to help cement the knowledge you have gained.
Extension Task	By this section, you'll have covered a lot of material. To really get to grips with what it all means, this task will put you to the test. Before you start practising collaboration with your colleagues, you might want to spend a bit of time reflecting on your own skills around the three basic principles you've learned about.
