Description

In fast-paced nonprofit settings, clarity is key to effective collaboration. This session equips leaders with two practical frameworks—POP (Purpose, Outcomes, Process) and DARCI (Decision-Making and Accountability Model)—to improve communication, streamline decision-making, and strengthen shared ownership. Participants will apply these tools to real projects or partnerships, learning how to bring structure, alignment, and efficiency to collaborative work. Leaders will leave with ready-to-use templates and approaches that make teamwork and collaboration more transparent, inclusive, and results-oriented.

Outcomes - By the end of this session, participants will:

• Explore power dynamics inherent in collaborative endeavors and how to work with these dynamics productively.
• Use the POP and DARCI frameworks to bring clarity and accountability to collaborative work
• Define roles, responsibilities, and decision-making processes for smoother teamwork.
• Improve communication and meeting effectiveness across teams and organizations.
• Strengthen follow-through, shared ownership, and alignment on priorities.
