What is the purpose of this tool?

The purpose of this tool is to raise your awareness about partnership / collaborative working within your organisation, and between your organisation and external stakeholders.

The Collaboration Health Check is designed to collect individuals’ perspectives on collaborative working. These perspectives can be of your own personal experience of partnership / collaborative working or observations of how the organisation conducts such work. (Either perspective is valid but they should not be mixed in the same assessment.)

How does the tool work?

The tool uses your responses to 35 statements about collaborative working and creates a radar chart based on five collaborative working themes. In looking at your responses to the statements posed in the Collaboration Health Check we can create a Collaboration Profile. By aggregating a number of individual assessments, we can also develop a Collaboration Profile for your team or the wider organisation.

It takes about 20 minutes to complete the self assessment and produce the Collaboration Profile, plus additional time for further analysis and action planning. Remember that there are no “correct” responses to the statements concerning collaborative working. When completing the self assessment, do try not to think for too long about each response – your initial thoughts are likely to reflect your genuine thoughts.

Interpretation

In order to get the most out of this tool we would recommend discussing your assessment with colleagues or sending your assessment to your Partnership / Collaboration Consultant who will facilitate discussions to help you, your team or your organisation make an informed choice about collaborative working practice.

Collaboration Health Check – Self Assessment Process

Load the Collaboration Health Check Excel workbook.

Review the guidance included in the “1. Welcome” sheet and enter your name and the name of your organisation.

Click into the “2. Collaboration Health Check” sheet and complete the self assessment by indicating your level of agreement with the 35 statements using the following scale: 0 - don't know / not applicable; 1 - disagree strongly; 2 – disagree; 3 - neither agree or disagree; 4 – agree; 5 - strongly agree.

Review your Collaboration Health Check Profile created on the basis of your responses in the “3. Profile” sheet.

In addition to looking at the overall profile it can be helpful to look at responses to specific statements; particularly when there are significant differences between the minimum and maximum scores for a particular phase. By looking back at "4. Analysis", you can reveal which questions relate to each of the five collaborative working themes. Use the filter buttons to sort the data to help with your analysis.

In order to get the most out of this tool we would recommend sending your assessment to your Partnership / Collaborative Working Consultant who will facilitate discussions to help you, your team or your organisation make an informed choice about your collaborative working practice.
