Smart Collaboration Accelerator for collaboration

The Smart Collaboration Accelerator and Leader Insights Report is a validated tool that measures collaboration behaviors, identifies catalysts to increase collaboration, and highlights ‘watch outs’ that may be barriers to collaboration. The Smart Collaboration Accelerator is the most widely used tool for accelerating collaboration in firms, businesses, universities and other organizations. 

The Smart Collaboration Accelerator measures the behaviors that have been identified to impact collaboration. These include Trusting/Wary, Complex/Concrete, Risk-Spotter/Risk-Seeker and others relating to collaboration within groups.  

A group report called the Leader Insights Report provides insights and recommendations on collaboration dynamics. These reports are available for small teams through to aggregate group data across an organization.

Cross-Cultural Collaboration

Collaboration breaks down fastest when teams are operating with different norms for trust, communication, and decision-making. Our cross-cultural collaboration solutions helps leaders, teams, and deal teams turn cultural diversity into real performance, by building the mindset, skills, and shared language needed to work effectively internationally, grounded in evidence-based collaboration frameworks and practical deal experience. 

We deliver this through three formats depending on what you need: half-day workshops to upskill teams quickly, 1–2 day strategy sessions to translate cross-cultural insight into executable strategy, and bespoke Asia Pacific market immersives to support leaders navigating cross-border growth and stakeholder dynamics. The goals: spot friction before it derails work, build faster trust and clearer decisions, resolve conflict early, and leave teams with a repeatable capability they can keep using.
