So What’s a CoLab™ Anyway?

A Colab (short for Collaboration Laboratory) is a group facilitation experience specifically designed to achieve a mutually created meaningful vision or goal.

The “Lab” component of a Colab refers to an energized environment where participants are “fueled” to experiment and discover.

Imagine your team collaborating as a unified whole, rich in diversity, celebrating different points of view, experiences, personality types, expertise, and work styles. All facilitated in a Colab – a collaborative symphony that is used for creating sustainable forms of innovation.

A full description of the Colab process can be found here.
