Wilder Collaboration Factors Inventory

In the middle of a crucial collaborative project for your organization? Check out this free online collaboration assessment to see how things are going. This tool will help you assess how your collaboration is doing on 20 research-tested success factors. When you complete this inventory, you will receive summary scores for each of these factors.

This inventory was developed and tested by Wilder Research over a period of eight years. It is designed to help a potential or existing collaborative assess its strengths and weaknesses relative to the 20 success factors. If you have just begun to consider a collaboration, you can use the inventory to assess your readiness to collaborate—and make plans to remedy weaknesses that might torpedo the collaboration.

Longstanding collaborations can use the results to unblock logjams, surface unspoken agendas, and troubleshoot problems. It gives the collaboration a less subjective way to talk about issues of trust, resources, leadership, communication, and other problems that might otherwise be too sensitive to bring up in a group setting.
