From insight to relational capacity to coherent solutions for citizens
At Joint Action, we combine research, software and method development in a single, unified approach. We measure the quality of collaboration, turn data into action, and help leadership strengthen cross-functional collaboration.
From top management to the cross-disciplinary team
We work wherever there's a need for cross-disciplinary collaboration – with coherence both horizontally and vertically across the organization:
- From strategic leadership and the top management group to the individual leader and the cross-disciplinary team close to the citizen
- Across daycare centers, schools, educational-psychological services, family departments, health, elderly care, integration, employment and social services
Regardless of profession, we help you find a shared language and solve the tasks that cut across sectors and stages of life.
How we work
Our clients subscribe to a program that can cover theentire organization, selected areas, or a defined project – structured and data-informed, grounded in practice:
- Clarifying goals and establishing an internal resource group
- Mapping collaboration with Joint Action Analytics
- Shared learning through workshops, cases and leadership training
- Ongoing anchoring through evaluation and follow-up
We typically build capacity from the top down, andoften start in a defined area before expanding to the rest of the organization.
Data that makes collaboration visible
Joint Action Analytics gives you a concrete data foundation for the quality of collaboration. Analyses and reports show:
- Who the key collaboration partners are
- Where collaboration is working well
- Where action is needed, and what's needed
The platform is adapted to your task – from early intervention and cross-disciplinary teams to individual cases and cross-cutting leadership – and is supported by auto-generated reports and unlimited online support.
What does it take from leadership?
Joint Action is built on many years of research intorelational capacity and relational leadership. Many tasks in public organizations are "wicked problems" that no single profession or leader can solve alone. We train leaders at every level:
- Top management leads the way and sets direction across their own silos
- Middle managers translate that direction into concrete frameworks for collaboration
- Leaders closest to employees support day-to-day collaboration
Common to all levels: an active contribution beyond one's own area of authority – setting direction, insisting on and recognizing collaboration, and involving employees in the solutions.
What skills will you need?
We build internal capacity in your organization, so you can:
- Design and conduct surveys
- Understand and communicate data
- Plan and facilitate development processes
A resource group of your own employees is trained, and we train your leaders to actively use relational data in their leadership. And we're easy to reach when you need support along the way – close to your everyday reality – as a genuine collaboration partner.
