In this episode, we discuss the book "Social Worlds. A Communication Perspective", written by Barnett Pearce. This book inspires us to look at our communication patterns from a meta perspective and thereby open up for new insights and ideas. Taking a ”communication perspective” as Pearce recommends, provides an opportunity for more mutual understanding in the global complexity we find ourselves in today, where multiple perspectives exist around the same issue. The episode was recorded in 2020, the year of the worldwide COVID 19 pandemic.

6. What are we making together?

Art of Collaborating is a podcast produced by Länka Consulting. Länka was established in 2015 by Anna Zingmark and Karoline Bottheim with the mission to explore and develop the tricky "art" of multi-stakeholder-collaboration. When we meet between organizations, sectors and knowledge areas in order to find solutions for handling complex societal challenges, we need support from practical methods and ways of understanding how to collaborate more efficiently. After years of discussing this topic with experts, researchers and practitioners all over the world, we are quite sure that multi-stakeholder collaboration can be called an advanced "art", a specific way of working, it may even be seen as a specific "community of practice". With our podcast, we want to make this - really necessary - specific way of working accessible to more people who find themselves in complex processes with many stakeholders involved.
