To effectively collaborate, you must have a willing participant to work with another (Bergner, 1997). Each person or organization must be willing to communicate and share their information on the project or task with the others they are collaborating with. The people must be honest and willing to give effort to the task. There needs to be brainstorming and talking of methods used in this endeavor. The goal of collaboration is to have a goal that is set and to then reach that goal and maintain it (Bergner, 1997). references
