Conferences and Presentations
 

Teams of Leaders (ToL) is an approach for rapidly building and effectively employing cross-boundary teams that are highly competent in making and executing decisions, and in learning and adapting together. The ToL approach helps leader-teams to gain a common understanding of the situation and requirements, develop shared purpose, trust and confidence, and reach a higher level of performance faster.

This approach has proven successful in improving performance in both hierarchical and in peer-to-peer teams and in cross boundary teams - across units or departments within an organization, across organizations, across regions or across countries.

  • The Second International Conference on Collaboration was held at the Ivey Spencer Leadership Centre at the Richard Ivey School of Business, Western University, in London, Ontario. The conference focused on the principles of collaboration among the broad range of private and governmental organizations forced to interact in the complex environment of the increasingly unpredictable world of local, national, and international politics, business, security, and social tension. The sub-theme of C3I (Communicate, Cooperate, Collaborate, Innovate) is Crises and Disasters - the perfect example of exceedingly complex events capable of dramatically altering the fabric of entire societies, and where return of pre-crisis stability is possible only through the closest collaboration among all affected entities.
