No doubt, the Christmas terror attack on Northwest Flight 253 as it was about to land in Detroit was a spectacular failure in collaboration among various national and international government agencies. Headlines tell the story! In a thoughtful post in Harvard Business Review blog, Preventing the Terrorist Attack: Massive Failure in Collaboration, Morten Hansen provides the background, the reasons for failure and recommendations on what can be done..... Somewhere in this shuffle, we are really missing out on a great story of spectacular success in collaboration that prevented what could have been a horrific Christmas. This story has a simple yet extremely powerful message on collaboration: when collaboration matters, we make it happen!
