To support people, organisations and business to understand the value of collaboration and the benefits achieved through collaborative working.

Special Interest Groups

ICW has established 8 Special Interest Groups (2 of which - Professional Development and Strategic Marketing & Communications - have evolved into pro-active teams) to share and develop topics that are of key interest to its members.

The Groups are a way to be involved in the life of the Institute and help it move forward with thought leadership and practical experience drawn from its members.

Currently groups are focusing on driving internal changes to enhance members' benefits, increasing the focus on people skills, future of Collaboration and also how best to engage with the SME community. A full list of the current groups and their SIG Lead follows.

Membership of these groups is open to all. If you wish to join any of these groups please contact Alan Maund at the ICW office and he will get the SIG lead to contact you to discuss the matter and membership further.
