Collaborative Business Systems

Collaborative Business Systems - Model for Good Business© (Synergy by Design) was developed to be a long-term strategic business building alliance in which the producers, suppliers and consumers work together collectively to satisfy consumer needs within a cost effective distribution channel that produces and returns reward benefits to the collaboration’s participating partners. It was also developed to show the synergistic relationship to the Principles of Good Business, Life-long Learning and our Stewardship Responsibility for Community Support.

Collaborative Business Systems (Synergy by Design) coordinates the activities of the five specific business focuses and functions that are intended to build harmony; the result representing not only a collaborative effort but one that is synergistic by nature. Each focus is united and supported as they collaboratively cooperate around the enterprises' central core of values and resources, creating in effect Common Unity.

Even though Collaboration and Cooperation have similar meanings and are often used interchangeably one clear distinction between them is: Collaborations are created with intent and purpose, while Cooperation often happens by accident.

Collaborations are about partnerships; however, effective collaborations do not happen without individual leadership. Collaborative leading is a commitment to “continuous learning” and “working together” that includes all of our human levels of being - physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social - in a shared search for solutions to complex issues and a collective purpose. It is a process that leverages people, time, resources and ideas in the discovery new found needs and challenges. It is a way of consciously relating to one another that brings out the greatness in all who participate.

Organizations under the Virtual Support Centers' umbrella are structured in a collaborative way to provide expert support in the coordination of the five specific business focuses and functions mentioned above.
