August Thought Leadership webinar: Collaborative Grantmaking – Part I: The Role of Empathy and Experimentation

Most of us believe that we are stronger and can accomplish more together than we can on our own. While this sentiment usually rings true, we often lack efficient and effective tools for how to maximize the power and impact of that ”togetherness”. Most of us enjoy the collective nature of shared work and resources, but we can often overlook the uncertainty, assumptions, and potential obstacles that are also a natural part of working together as individuals, teams, organizations, and communities.

There are early foundation-building steps that are often missed when forming collaborative partnerships, empathy, and experimentation. Empathy provides the foundation of deep and authentic understanding between collaborative partners and experimentation tests the behaviors you need to achieve success.

What if you could connect more authentically and “test drive” your collaborations and your impact before you invest time, money, and other resources? What if you could get aligned on your shared mission, address uncertainty, and test pathways to results within hours and weeks, rather than waiting years for outcomes?

In this live, online event, Heather will share how, with simple and new questions you can ask, you can deeply understand what problems you solve for your collaborative partners, and how to identify and test assumptions that are embedded within your collaborative partnerships. Once you construct a strong foundation for mutual value creation, you can drive ongoing value and reach your ultimate goals more efficiently and effectively.

The knowledge that this panel will share will be of interest to any and all staff levels of community, corporate, and independent & family foundations.

45-minute presentation, followed by 15 minutes of Q&A.
