About this listen

 Hosted by Harvard scholar Dr. Heidi K. Gardner and business executive Ivan Matviak, the Smarter Collaboration podcast explores how gutsy leaders bring diverse thinkers to the table and create breakthrough outcomes. At the same time, it highlights collaboration “traps” and how to overcome them.

The hosts lean into their combined experiences – including teaching at Harvard Business and Harvard Law Schools, authoring bestselling books on collaboration, and leading teams across financial services and consumer goods sectors — to help you become a master of collaboration.

Each episode features a guest like a hall-of-fame song writer, a NASA rocket scientist, or a Disney Imagineer, to show you how to collaborate more effectively across disciplines—to produce something cutting edge and embraced by customers and other stakeholders.

  • Collaboration in Outer Space and Beyond with NASA Astronaut Major Kate Rubins

    Collaboration in Outer Space and Beyond with NASA Astronaut Major Kate Rubins
    Mar 15 2024
    Whether it’s an unexpected repair during a space walk (think Apollo 13-type problem solving!) or an evacuation order in the Army, Major Kate Rubins keeps cool and collaborative. Maybe it’s being a “fish out of water” that prepared her: the NASA astronaut, microbiologist, and US Army reservist is continually putting herself in new and challenging situations across a wide variety of domains. In this episode, you’ll hear:
    • what prompted her surprise pivot from MIT researcher to astronaut – and how each of us could learn from that experience
    • how cross-discipline collaboration helped her become the first person to sequence DNA in space
    • who she names as her personal heroes
    • what techniques NASA uses to prepare people for the kinds of teamwork required in the tight confines of the International Space Station

  • Smarter Collaboration features Ryan Harmon and Joe Lanzisero, Former Disney Imagineers

    Smarter Collaboration features Ryan Harmon and Joe Lanzisero, Former Disney Imagineers
    Feb 29 2024
    If designing theme parks doesn’t require smarter collaboration, we don’t know what does! In our conversation with former Disney Imagineers and creative consultants Ryan Harmon and Joe Lanzisero, we learned about the different parties that come together to turn great entertainment ideas into reality. The pair sees themselves as conductors, who take an initial client concept, “plus” it (that’s Disney lingo for build on it), and then lead the “orchestra” that carries it out. Each person has a role to play, even those who just chime in from time to time. We also learn why both Imagineers each spontaneously picked the same Disney character as their favorite.Smarter Collaboration goes deep into Disney magical collaborations with former Imagineers Ryan Harmon and Joe Lanzisero, now leaders at Zeitgeist. Hear about the behind the scenes collaborations that consistently delight.
