Here we are at the last podcast of season 2, episode #41. I finish up this season with a conversation that is really a continuation of the last episode where we talked about collaboration in the world of creating art. I am privileged to speak with Graeme Priddle and Carlie Starr on the gathering of kiwi and international artists at CollaboratioNZ in northern New Zealand. We explore what Collaboration New Zealand is all about, some of what Carlie and Graeme see as special about the gathering, and some insights into the creativity that comes in this unique collaborative setting. Please enjoy our conversation.

It’s my privilege to speak with Sharon Fraser and Jennifer Chaplin, two of the three founding directors of an Australian consultancy called Clarion Call. Sharon brings her experience in the health system together and Jennifer brings experience from the service system. Both Jennifer and Sharon have a huge depth of experience and skill for creating spaces where community voices can be heard, and systems level change can occur. In our conversation, today we touch a little on what Sharon and Jennifer do, some of the key collaboration ingredients and examples, and then we spend some time unpacking the idea of collaborative governance. Please enjoy our conversation.
