Excerpt
Co-creative conversations are nothing new. The qualities and abilities necessary for people working together collaboratively are intrinsic and innate to all. Collaboration is universally applicable to almost any shared human endeavor. Putting those abilities into practice is a learnable skill, and with practice, we can all learn to be effective at serving up a new and better kind of conversation whenever people come together for a shared purpose.

Collaboration Soup will show you how to engage in co-creative conversations that address your most critical issues. As professional facilitators and group process leaders, we have condensed our knowledge and years of experience into this simple six-step recipe so you can cook up your own great group events and meetings.

Collaboration Soup is written in five parts:

 Part III: Tips and Tools contains suggestions for fundamental aspects of an effective collaborative event.
