WEBINAR | The Collaborative Organization Advantage: Building the Conditions for Success

November 3, 2026

1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EDT

Great collaborations don’t happen by accident. They start inside the organization.

Collaboration is a powerful strategy for nonprofits looking to amplify their impact, strengthen capacity, and tackle complex challenges. But before an organization can be a great collaborator, it needs to build the internal conditions that make collaboration possible – and sustainable.

That starts with leadership: fostering a collaborative culture, building the right competencies, assessing readiness, managing risk, and putting the right policies and practices in place.

This webinar is for consultants, coaches, and capacity builders who help nonprofit leaders and collaborative initiatives succeed.

You’ll be introduced to The Collaborative Organization – a free resource co-created by Tamarack Institute and Ignite NPS—and explore four critical strategies for helping organizations become stronger, more effective collaborators.

You’ll also have an opportunity to exchange ideas with colleagues and explore practical ways to support organizations along their collaboration journey.

You’ll leave with:

• Practical strategies you can use with your clients

• Free tools and resources to assess and strengthen collaborative capacity

• Ideas for helping organizations become more confident, capable, and sought-after partners

Help your clients build the conditions for collaboration – and unlock the advantage of being a truly collaborative organization.

Join us!
