Corporate Collaboration Resources LLC Information

We help organizations deliver on the promise and potential of teamwork because we understand collaboration differently. Organizations of all sizes need to be more agile and collaborative than ever if they’re going to thrive in this complex and volatile world. Most team building programs don’t build the skills and capabilities that are required. That’s where we come in. We'll help you map the journey from ineffective teamwork to the kind of collaboration your organization needs to thrive. We will help your teams make collaboration work for them instead of working hard on collaboration. Our Managing Principal, @Carlos Valdes-Dapena, MSOD, MFA, developed his expertise in collaboration at the highest organization levels. For 17 years he was a senior internal consultant at Mars, Inc. and was involved with brands like M&Ms, Snickers, Uncle Bens Rice and Wrigley’s gum. There he won the company’s prestigious Global Make the Difference award for his work on the Mars Framework for High Performance Collaboration, the subject of his book, "Lessons From Mars". Before that he spent three years at IBM as an executive coach and consultant to the top 35 global leaders including a number of CEO Lou Gerstner’s direct reports. For a time he also led the team that designed and ran IBM’s global executive development programs. We've worked with teams all over the world including China, Australia, Europe, the Middle East, New Zealand and wherever a team needs help.
