In Collaborate or Perish! former Los Angeles police chief
and New York police commissioner William Bratton and Harvard
Kennedy School’s Zachary Tumin lay out a field-tested
playbook for collaborating across the boundaries of our
networked world. Today, when everyone is connected,
collaboration is the game changer. Agencies and firms,
citizens and groups who can collaborate, Bratton and Tumin
argue, will thrive in the networked world; those who can’t
are doomed to perish. No one today is better known around the world for his
ability to get citizens, governments, and industries working
together to improve the safety of cities than William
Bratton. At Harvard, Zachary Tumin has led senior executives
from government and industry in executive sessions and
classrooms for over a decade, burnishing a global reputation
for insight and leadership. Together, Bratton and Tumin draw
on in-depth accounts from Fortune 100 giants such as Alcoa,
Wells Fargo, and Toyota; from masters of collaboration in
education, social work, and the military; and from Bratton’s
own storied career. Among the specific strategies they reveal: • Start collaboration with a broad vision that supporters
can add to and make their own
• Rightsize problems, and get value in the hands of users
fast
• Get the right people involved—from sponsors to grass roots
• Make collaboration pay in the right currency—whether
recognition, rewards, or revenue Today companies and managers face unique challenges—and
opportunities—in reaching out to others, thanks to the
incredibly connected world in which we live. Bratton and
Tumin provide practical strategies anyone can use, from the
cubicle to the boardroom. This is the ultimate guide to
getting things done in today’s networked world.
