TLDR
In this paper, an augmented collaboration assessment tool is proposed to better account for the dynamic and multidimensional nature of collaboration, a process in which partner organisations are interconnected and organized in a way that seeks to achieve a common purpose that they could not have achieved alone.Abstract:
Funding information Macquarie Group Foundation Abstract The changing nature of organisations in the public sector means that collaboration has become an imperative for many. Notwithstanding considerable scholarly agreement about factors contributing to successful collaboration, a broadly accepted model of collaborative practice has not coalesced. In this paper, we put forward an augmented collaboration assessment tool. Building on existing research, we argue that systems thinking can help us better account for the dynamic and multidimensional nature of collaboration – a process in which partner organisations are interconnected and organised in a way that seeks to achieve a common purpose that they could not have achieved alone. We tested the validity of our tool using a three-stage, iterative mixed-methods approach. Our research confirms the value of a diagnostic tool to assist collaboration partners navigate an often uncertain terrain. It further establishes the value of our tool in illuminating a collaboration’s dynamic interactions as a means to evaluate ‘collaboration health’.read more

An Integrative Framework for Collaborative Governance
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesize and extend a suite of conceptual frameworks, research findings, and practice-based knowledge into an integrative framework for collaborative governance, which specifies a set of nested dimensions that encompass a larger system context, a collaborative governance regime, and internal collaborative dynamics and actions that can generate impacts and adaptations across the systems.

Complexity Theory and Organization Science
TL;DR: This work states that applying complex adaptive systems models to strategic management leads to an emphasis on building systems that can rapidly evolve effective adaptive solutions, and new types of models that incorporate these elements will push organization science forward.
