“As the owner of The Kingbridge Centre and Institute, a 124-room conference center in Ontario, John Abele is researching how collective intelligence can give way to collective capability. He calls it the ‘collaboration paradox.’ “Someone asked me recently what the most important tool is to get people to collaborate better. It’s not technology, it’s leadership,” he says. “To create an environment where people like to collaborate, you literally have to understand every single member of the group. It’s a fascinating flock of birds phenomena that makes this whole experience rewarding.”


Kingbridge founder John Abele has created a network of partners who share his passion for the power of collaboration. We are coming together with the commitment to help others experience it, practice it, and take it back to their organizations.

At Kingbridge we don’t consider ourselves collaboration experts. Yet we do recognize the challenges that leaders live every day. Our Collaboration Institute is evolving to help leaders learn and use innovative collaboration approaches while developing the capabilities to achieve superior results.

Whether you are part of a leadership team working toward cross-enterprise collaboration, a community leader building multi-stakeholder plans, or a manager committed to developing yourself and your team, you will discover that Kingbridge is an innovative resource centre of forums and learning approaches designed to improve collaboration in a variety of different settings.
