The 50+20 Collaboratory Approach (2012) - French

The 50+20 Collaboratory represents an innovative methodology for facilitating transdisciplinary dialogue among diverse stakeholders on equal footing. This facilitator's guide provides practical instructions for conducting focused collaborative sessions that bridge management, education, and learning through action-oriented research. The approach employs a distinctive circular seating arrangement with an inner circle of key participants surrounded by an engaged outer audience, enabling dynamic knowledge exchange and shared consciousness-building.

Structured in three phases, the methodology progresses from eliciting diverse perspectives, to identifying common ground through deep reflection, to generating concrete action commitments. Rather than relying solely on intellectual analysis, the Collaboratory taps into collective wisdom and intuition to surface genuinely innovative solutions grounded in shared vision. The guide emphasizes the facilitator's role in creating open-source exchange spaces using conscious construction techniques, making it particularly relevant for responsible leadership development and stakeholder engagement in sustainability challenges. This resource exemplifies participatory approaches central to the GRLI's commitment to globally responsible leadership education.
