SELLEST OSAST
Is there a better way to collaborate?
What’s the secret to good feedback? How do you manage 40 people in a room? Are group facilitators ever truly neutral? Should you tell your teammates their responsibilities, or have them tell you? What’s a RACI chart? If collaboration is so important, why hasn’t there been a book about it — until now?
Emily Saich (Vice President of Exhibitions) and Joey Noelle Scott (Director of Exhibition Projects) from the Monterey Bay Aquarium discuss their new book “A Collaborative Approach to Exhibition Making” with host Jonathan Alger (Managing Partner, C&G Partners | The Exhibition and Experience Design Studio).
Along the way: post-mortems, “Yes And,” and cardboard kelp cutouts.
Talking Points:
1. A book for creatives, facilitators, and problem-solvers
2. Create responsibilities *with* collaborators
3. Truly neutral facilitators are rare
4. Healthy teams seek feedback
5. Build trust with contractors
6. Celebrate the work
