Multi-Party Collaboration
Paramount to the 5P collaborative success is uniting around two critical elements:
- Focusing on a compelling joint purpose.
- Adopting a compact process for interaction.
In order to realize these two goals, one possible way forward is to leverage an already existing recognized framework, like the set of Seven Principles.*
This method has proven its ability to create value-generating multiparty agreements in political and business scenarios.
The framework of the Seven Principles in brief reads as follows:
Parties are sharing interests whilst co-creating options for possible solutions. Acknowledging the importance of interpersonal relationships & communication, the dialogue is anchored on robust grounds of fairness and legitimacy. Once alternatives are considered (and discarded), the group finally concurs on a set of joint solutions and acts upon commitments.
Applying these elements in real-life scenarios is much less of a linear process than it is an art of juggling all of them simultaneously — with a mindset of creating an environment of collaboration & trust.
