Hawkes Bay NZBW Collaborative Teams Workshop - 10-October 2025

POWER IN COLLABORATION 

There is power in the collective, and you can harness the power of community to move your business forward.

Make new strategic alliances, get more defined with your unique selling point, make plans to collaborate with other business owners to create a mutually beneficial event, product or service that serves your collective target market. Learn what other businesswomen do and let them know what you can do to create opportunities that help our community thrive. 

Collaborative Teams is a collective co-op of like-minded businesses and individuals where the focus is on partners, not competitors. While cooperating with other companies in your own industry may seem counterintuitive to competitiveness — the simple fact is it’s not. Collaboration is no longer just a strategy: it is the key to long term business success and competitiveness.

Today’s fast-paced marketplace requires mutually beneficial partnerships to leverage creativity, experience and resources. Sometimes small business owners get into the habit of doing it all alone. However, collaboration can offer opportunities to market your business to a wider audience, helping you grow your business and learn from others in the process.
