The co-elevation forums utilise the structure of a 5x5x5 behavioural exercise to facilitate authentic peer collaboration. Each member will join a virtual breakout room with two of their peers and will have fifteen minutes as the focus of the exercise.
In strict high-energy intervals, the member in focus has five minutes to explain a professional challenge they are encountering, answer five minutes of questioning relevant to the scenario; and finally, receive five minutes of candid feedback from their peers.

The name refers to its guiding ethos of “going higher together.” You build co-elevating relationships with your teammates by collaborating and problem-solving with them in partnerships and self-organising teams.
In CSA co-elevation forums, members apply these principles in practice by drawing on their varied experiences to unpack complex organisational challenges. Together, members enhance their capability and improve their effectiveness.
