Mastery of the MG Taylor / Collaboration Code System and Method

Mastery is the demonstrated capacity to do superior, original work and to teach others to do so. The Reccognized Masters listed here are known for their ability to design and deliver work that both represents the best of the lineage and extends it further.

To be listed as “active” on The Collaboration Code website, we ask that masters do the following: 

• Be actively involved in designing and delivering complex collaborative work. (i.e., not retired or fully engaged in another line of work)​

• Mentor practitioners to help them grow in proficiency and, when they are ready, actively sponsor them in the Mastery certification/recognition process.

• Be active in building the global practice, both through their own work with their own organization or through active participation in The Happening, 7 Domains, regional gatherings, etc.

• Every three years, share at least one example of their on-going work to be included in the next biennial Collaboration Code Casebook.

True Masters recognize that they must manifest Beginner’s Mind to continue learning and growing.
