ABSTRACT

Collaboration has not been one of the traditional methods employed by most organizations for fear of allowing competitors insight into information, which can be used to propel their motives. Shadrach Stephens is challenging this status quo and making it his mission to promote collaboration to ensure a more inclusive and innovative future. Collaboration allows us to progress as a whole, while competition forces us to become divided. In essence, collaboration improves culture through diversity of thought and it is a starting point towards building and redefining inclusion through development, growth and empowerment.
