Organon Collaboration Best Practices

These Collaboration Best Practices are intended to provide project teams using the Organon with key considerations for achieving meaningful collaborations with partners. Project teams are not expected to integrate every one of these items into their processes; rather, these are activities to consider where relevant in each case.

Best practices for successfully embracing collaboration are divided into three categories:

  1. Engaging Stakeholders and Partners
  2. Collaborating Broadly
  3. Developing Sustainable Solutions and Social Cohesion.

Some considerations within these three categories are common across all steps (Overarching Best Practices). Others are specific to Organon steps (Best Practices by Step). Click the links below to review specific best practices by category.
