Abstract

This chapter introduces the importance of collaboration to the effective management of the helping sector. There are two important reasons why collaboration is crucial. To understand the first reason, it is necessary to understand the distinction between complicated and complex system. While both systems involve interactions among component parts, complex system require people to work together effectively. Collaboration is one of only two strategies known to work to manage complexity. In addition, collaboration allows the identification of shared aspirations that are an important part of the non-financial aspects of system, organization, and practice management.
