Harnessing the power of the collective

Harnessing the power of the collective as opposed to a top-down “this is our CSR initiative” is more powerful in terms of addressing needs and getting team buy-in. Collaborative societies are what is needed to address the broader issues within this country and beyond. So, the skill of collaboration can be employed in organisations and then positively mirrored in society when grappling with bigger societal issues.

In the same way organisations leverage the innovative ideas of their teams for business purposes, they can harness this collective thinking to solve some of society’s bigger challenges. These can then be employed in partnership with and with the backing of other organisations, government, NGOS or NPOS.
