The Collaborative Advantage Model


Today’s workplace sees organisations collaborate to reach otherwise unattainable goals. Combining resources, knowledge and skills helps them solve problems faster, reduce costs and accelerate innovation. For employees, this means learning how to share information, build trust, and work with partners outside their own team or company.

The Collaborative Advantage Model Definition

The Collaborative Advantage Model explains how businesses can gain benefits from working together in partnership.

Related Concept: Collating and Formatting Data

Before any analysis can happen, data needs to be collated from correct sources and formatted so it follows clear organisational standards. Research shows that inconsistent structures and formats make data harder to combine, process and trust (Jagadish et al., 2014). Collating and formatting ensure the dataset is clean, consistent and ready for use.
