With the pressure to prioritize multiple demands on our time, we often rush into collaboration and think less about launching well, and even less about ending well.
Instead, many collaborative efforts focus on ‘the what’: the end goal of the collaborative rather than ensuring that the individuals around the collaborative table are connected, engaged and prepared to successfully achieve the shared purpose or goal of the collaborative process.

A strong ending creates the opportunity for reflection and learning. A strong ending also creates the conditions for future collaboratives to be successful.
