Overwhelmed by the many challenges facing the scholarly communications
community today? You don’t have to go it alone! Our next training series
provides a tool kit, case studies, and practical tips for building
collaborative relationships that strengthen organizations.

NISO TRAINING SERIES | DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE FOR MEMBERS AND GROUPS

Organizational Resilience through Collaboration
<https://www.niso.org/events/organizational-resilience-through-collaboration-2026-niso-training-series>

Thursdays, June 4–June 25, 11:00 am–12:30 pm

>From research infrastructure to consortia, collaborative models provide
creative solutions to shared challenges, helping to scale capacity and
reduce risk for all stakeholders. This four-week virtual training course
will provide a practical guide to the pros and cons of cross-stakeholder
collaboration in scholarly communications and its importance for
organizational resilience.

Participants will learn about the importance of establishing shared goals
and values, ensuring effective communications, getting and maintaining
buy-in from the communities being served, and measuring progress. They will
hear from the leaders of two successful, community-led collaborations: Maurice
York, Vice President for Library Programs, Big Ten Academic Alliance, and Chris
Shillum, Executive Director of ORCID. These speakers will share key
challenges and opportunities their organizations have faced as well as
lessons learned on their paths to resilience through collaboration. The
course is also interactive, with participants learning through doing and
discussing as well as listening.

Alice Meadows, a founder of MoreBrains Cooperative and now an independent
consultant, is the course facilitator. “I'm very much looking forward to
leading this training series,” said Meadows. “In today's challenging
environment for research and researchers, building organizational
resilience through collaboration is more important than ever. My goal is to
equip attendees with the tools they need to build and maintain successful
collaborations both within and outside their own organizations.”
