• Why

    “You cannot compete externally if you can’t first collaborate internally.” - Jim Tamm

    Collaboration skills are no longer a nice to have...

    In times of increasing complexity and constant change, collaboration skills are no longer a nice to have. They have become a vital asset both for individuals and for organizations. Radical Collaboration®, an approach that has been used by many large institutions across the world, invites you to understand yourself better, to check your assumptions about other people, and to transform your relationships and organizations by taking them from the Red Zone to the Green Zone.

  • What This programme is about

    This 3-day course is aimed at executives, leaders and entrepreneurs from all sectors and industries - whether it be corporates, startups, public organizations or NGOs. The programme teaches practical methods to significantly improve your skills for building collaborative relationships at work (and beyond). These skills can be learned by any individual. Once individuals possess the necessary collaborative skills, they can genuinely create teams and organizations where collaboration thrives.

    Florian Hoos

    Certified Radical Collaboration® Trainer | Affiliate Professor HEC Paris | Strategy Consultant and Business Coach

    Florian started his career as a number-crunching accounting professor at HEC Paris in 2011. A turning point in his career was when he understood that numbers are just the result of people working together and making decisions. In all of his roles, be it as a Professor at HEC Paris or at MIT, as the director of the Centre for Entrepreneurship at TU Berlin, in his work in customized programmes for top executives up to the C-level, or in his consulting missions with corporations and startups, Florian experienced that it is the human factor that drives competitive advantages. But also satisfaction and happiness at work. For him, Radical Collaboration® combines sophisticated theory and practical applicability unlike no other methodology. In times of change and the VUCA world, it is key that leaders, but actually everyone in an organization, contributes to a collaborative environment, where conflicts can be solved quickly and constructively, and the right decisions are made swiftly – not necessarily from the top, but by the person who has the best information to make them.

    Arne Reis

    Certified Radical Collaboration® Trainer | Agile Coach, Transformation Facilitator and Consultant

    Arne has been fascinated with collaboration ever since he started working in intercultural and interdisciplinary teams as a member of the European Students' Forum AEGEE more than 15 years ago. For him, finding out about FIRO, one of the core theories of Radical Collaboration®, was a major turning point back in 2009. Professionally, this discovery sent him on the path of becoming an Agile coach, transformation facilitator, and consultant who loves working with diverse groups of people on complex organizational challenges. Arne spent the past five years leading projects and teams in different management and leadership consultancies, In January 2020, he created his own business, where he specializes in promoting self-organization and collaboration to create more human-centric workplaces. Personally, FIRO helped him understand his strange habit (a.k.a. "defense mechanism") of escaping from clubs and parties without telling his friends. Arne is eager to share this and other collaborative adventure stories with you at the training in Berlin.
