Congratulations to the Collaboration College Class of 2015!
We are pleased to welcome seven teams to Collaboration College. These teams will begin their Collaboration College experience with Collaboration 201, an interactive day of workshops focused on Visioning, Strategic Thinking, Conflict Management, Business Results, and Change Mastery, in March 2015.
Each team will be paired with a team of consultants from c3/consulting, HCA, and North Highland to work on their collaborations. In September, teams will present their collaborations to a panel of judges for the chance to win a grand prize of $25,000 and two finalist prizes of $10,000. Prizes will be awarded by Baptist Healing Trust and The HCA Foundation at the Center for Nonprofit Management’s Salute to Excellence Awards in October 2015.
