In many ways, the creation of an effective collaborative network is just the beginning. Networks should be nurtured if they are to continue performing effectively for everyone. Objectives should be regularly reviewed and when appropriate, re-validated. Individual priorities should be monitored, especially in highly dynamic environments where constraints are shifting. Activities should be tracked to ensure that they are on the right trajectory and all participants are satisfied with progress. Outcomes should be measured to confirm that they are meeting both individual and collective expectations.
IsoMeridian can help organisations do all this. A traditional approach is for us to operate as an external advisor, providing clients with guidance and direction based on our experience. However, a more embedded approach is for IsoMeridian to take the role of independent agent, acting as an advocate for the network as a whole rather than any one party. In this capacity IsoMeridian ensures that all participants are happy with progress and content with their involvement. It's an approach that increases the probability of maintaining the balance between individual and collective interests by reducing the perspective that the network facilitator is acting (primarily) for only one party.
In an ideal world we would be engaged by (and responsible to) the collaborative network, thereby minimising our affinity with any one party. In reality, this is unusual and our involvement tends to be initiated by one member of the network, typically the entity at the centre, and our primary responsibility is to them. But, even when this is the case, we strive to work for the benefit of the entire network and maintain the balance between individual and collective interests. We know that for any collaborative undertaking to operate effectively and achieve targeted outcomes, everybody must be fully engaged. Our primary goal in Collaborative Network Support is to build and maintain the highest possible level of participant engagement.
