Summary:
BCcampus can provide the environment and the opportunity for
collaborative leadership
The range of opportunities is endless with a proven infrastructure,
collaborative programs, services and projects
Collaborative leadership can occur at the individual level, the
institutional level, or across partners in a facilitated environment.
Where can collaboration take you? As an IT leader in BC’s postsecondary system?

Notas del editor
“Collaboration” is a term that’s often used yet means many different things in many different contexts. Yet, a fundamental cause of failed collaborative projects or partnerships is a lack of understanding of:
collaboration itself and
the process of collaboration.
To demonstrate collaborative leadership, collaborative innovation, or even simply collaboration firstly requires a better understanding of collaboration, and models and processes of collaboration.
For this presentation, we’ll quickly look at:
the realm of collaboration
drivers of collaboration
degrees of collaboration
barriers to collaboration
a process for collaboration
success factors
and finally examples of collaboration that leads to systemic technology solutions
The Realm of Collaboration:
Most collaboration is considered to occur in an immediate way – your needs, the solutions for your needs, needs of the people you work with, your department, etc. It’s not a selfish perspective – it’s the realm of immediacy.
Sometimes an institutional service group needs to be involved though to help you with your immediate needs, e.g. IT Services and so the collaboration is between you, or your department (a vertical) and a service provider (horizontal) of your organization.
More often though, there are drivers that necessitate a broader solution, or there really is better efficiency for a collaborative solution when it extends across the horizontal of the whole organization, e.g., Institution A. This is the realm where many consider that collaboration that they are involved in exists, and where many see collaborative solutions to exist.
But what about inter-institutional collaborations, when two or more institutions need to collaborate to address an issue with a common solution? Or what about systemic collaboration, when a systemic issue needs to be addressed with a systemic solution? This is the realm that systemic groups or agencies such as BCcampus, BCCAT, HEITBC, etc. see.
System collaborations or collaborative services may not be easily developed though. In some cases such collaborative initiatives may be led by:
an individual institution of the collaborative group – but may involve issues of time, resources, perceived conflict of interest
a consortium of institutions who have formed a collaboration – but may involve issues of coordination, governance, decision making
a vendor or other third party – but may involve issues of cost
Collaboration can also be led and facilitated by a sponsor organization acting as a collaborative agent – a system-wide group acting as a neutral third party as convener, catalyst, and capacity builder for the collaborative initiative.
Key point: When individual institutions approach horizontal collaboration they need to extend from their immediate realm to the multi-organizational or perhaps even systemic realm.
Many public agencies are increasingly asked to engage in, need to engage in, or are engaging in collaborative ventures outside their realm of immediacy – these collaborations are ‘cross-boundary’ or ‘horizontal’ partnerships and collaborations.
Horizontal collaboration usually refers to “an initiative involving a number of organizations, departments or government agencies or ministries that must address issues requiring the crossing of jurisdictional boundaries to develop solutions”. (Facilitating Health and Education Sector Collaboration in Support of Comprehensive School Health. Pan Canadian Joint Consortium for School Health. Canadian Public Health Association. 2010) Available online: http://journal.cpha.ca/index.php/cjph/article/view/1912)
There are many drivers that may necessitate a cross-boundary collaborative approach such as:
Cost reduction
Establishing relationships
Increased or better services
Streamlined processes
Leveraging enterprise solutions
Leveraging mutual resources
Lowering administrative costs
Information sharing
Change strategies are difficult enough within an organization and require a common vision and purpose to succeed.
Horizontal collaborations in a multi-organizational or systemic realm require organizations to work together as a coalition with common purpose. This coalition is usually referred to as a partnership or a collaborative.
There is actually a continuum of coalition strategies when multiple organizations work together – there are typically five that are listed:
networking – exchange of information for mutual benefit
valuable and informative, but often lacks outcomes
coordinating - exchanging information for mutual benefit, and altering activities accordingly to achieve a common purpose
cooperating - exchanging information for mutual benefit, altering activities and sharing resources accordingly to achieve a common purpose
collaborating - exchanging information for mutual benefit, altering activities and sharing resources accordingly, and enhancing the capacity of another organization to achieve a common purpose
integrating – when the coalition creates its own structure to manage its activities
________________________________
Collaboration is not an easy process.
Note that as the degree of collaboration increases, the barriers to effective collaboration increase - three powerful and common barriers impede collaborative efforts. Success or failure is determined by the interaction of these three dynamic forces: Time, Trust and Turf
Time: It takes time and effort to develop a working partnership.
Sometimes it might be faster to complete a task without relying on partners to participate and contribute, but in the long run, collaboration can result in better, longer-lasting outcomes.
Trust: Effective collaborations require trust among partners. Trust in others enables partners to share benefits and resources and to take on challenges.
Turf: Collaboration works only when all partners both contribute to and benefit from the effort.
When partners perceive an imbalance, imagined or real, tied to the benefits of the collaboration, the process of working together might stall, or the partner who feels disadvantaged might leave the collaborative.
Also, relationships and processes move from informal to very formal.

BCcampus has developed a business process for collaborative shared services. The BCcampus shared service model has been adopted to develop, implement and operate innovative business and sourcing models for systemic, scalable, sustainable (s3) shared services.
An educational shared service is a function, process, or activity performed by a provider organization on behalf of and in support of two or more user organizations. BCcampus facilitates several distinctive models which tend to build from a multi-institutional system model.
More specifically, goals of educational technology and applications services are to:
optimize the benefits of educational technology applications and significantly reduce costs of hosting and service delivery
maximize institutional access to educational technologies while minimizing redundancy
enable secure exchange of institutional student information system (SIS) data to support delivery of programs and courses
research and pilot new and innovative educational technologies
complement collaborative and partnership program arrangements between institutions
Examples: Moodle, Adobe Connect, Kaltura, etc.
Similarly, BCcampus provides support for online collaborative programs, learning services and collaborative projects.
The BCcampus collaborative service model has been adopted to develop, implement and operate such collaborative endeavours in an integrative planning process by acting as a catalyst, convener and capacity-builder (c3) for multi-institutional and/or multi-stakeholder collaborations.
Goals once again are top respond to challenges within the higher education system and to take a leadership role to:
provide improved access and flexibility to off-campus students
provide collaborative programs and services that a single institution may not be able to
significantly reduce costs of service delivery
maximize institutional access to programs and services while minimizing redundancy
enable secure exchange of institutional student information system (SIS) data to support delivery of programs and services
develop systemic collaborative and partnership program arrangements between institutions
convene and facilitate the process of collaboration on behalf of the stakeholder groups
