Collaborative Learning Network®
A collaborative learning network® consists of a group of organizations who share common needs and goals, and engage in knowledge exchange and discovery focused in solving problems, sparking innovation, and improving processes. Members of a collaborative learning network® engage in a peer learning/teaching process which allows real business issues to be addressed, in real time. One of the key advantages of the collaborative learning network® is that unique perspectives can be introduced into the organization, which can help to illuminate blind spots and provide valuable unbiased feedback to each member organization. 

A collaborative learning network® requires the development and practice of boundary-spanning skills™, a combination of interpersonal, intercultural, and systems thinking competencies. Knowledge and practice of the boundary-spanning skills enables individuals and organizations to collaborate and learn more effectively, and lead and produce in complex environments. 

Learning Mastery has developed a methodology for developing collaborative learning networks within the enterprise system: in cross-functional teams and with your suppliers, customers, and partners; and between organizations, to maximize learning within or across industries. The collaborative learning network® package includes: 

• Needs assessment to customize CLN structure to your organizational goals 
• Virtual communications and network infrastructure 
• Onsite or virtual conferences to launch and sustain the network 
• Training and materials to support development of the boundary-spanning skills 
• Optional facilitation and process consultation to direct your CLN
