Collaboration: The Future Is Contextual, Process-Centric, and Community-Driven
More buzz and articles are being written about this idea that collaboration isn’t about tools. It’s about how we work and process information together. The outcome is often 1+1=3.
The bottom line from a recent META group article on collaboration states that “Effective collaboration strategies will enable workers and teams to be more productive within processes, with success measured via improvement in process outcomes and more sustained levels of innovation resulting from community insight.” (Collaboration: The Future Is Contextual, Process-Centric, and Community-Driven, Delta 2895, 29 April 2004, Mike Gotta)
And the connection between innovation and communities? The short answer is simple: two heads are better than one.
