“everybody in the group is thinking creatively and sharing openly”

John Abele Author of The Collaboration Paradox

Collaboration on three levels 1.  Collaborative knowledge production 2.  Collaborative product design 3.  Collaboration among publishers

Collaboration in Knowledge Production

Authoring and peer review today Shuffling frustrating formats around

Email

Collaborative Webspace Real-time, concurrent discussion and work In and around a web-based research object

Networked Output Shared output is linked set of files tied together

with content or narrative

Result is increased integrity, transparency and speed

Collaborative Product Design

Building collaboratively with partners, stakeholders and users from inception through delivery

Collaborative Product Design

Critical ingredients 1.  Diversity (team) 2.  Facilitation (method) 3.  Product flexibility (goal)

Diversity

Moving away from technocratic meritocracy and towards a community of diverse stakeholders

Facilitation leaders need to cede control – not vigorously exert it

Products that can be re-invented by users breed innovation

Flexibility
