Embrace the chaos! Collabora,on creates conflict.
Collabora,ve chaos can be awesome to behold.

Collabora9ve prac9ce = cycle of collec,ve ac,ons, reac,ons, transac,ons, and interac,ons between individuals drawn together in a collec,ve alliance to bring about shared goals or outcomes.

Collabora9ve innova9on = collec,ve behavior of disrup,ve thinkers from diverse backgrounds and organiza,ons who are drawn together by a unified vision or purpose to bring about social good.
Collabora,ve Innova,on Concepts:
Mo9va9on: align around a superordinate goals – social good, save the world, save money, solve intractable problem. Contribu9on: bring intellectual + social capital, resources, capaci,es that make the sum beEer than the parts. Conflict: inevitable + ingredient for divergent/abduc,ve thinking to bring about new solu,ons.

Collabora,ve Ingredients:

Interpersonal Conflicts (social psychological): 1. Goals 2. Methods 3. Interpersonal quirks 4. Idea ownership 5. Unequal recogni,on

External conflicts (organiza9onal dynamics): 1. Tradi,on and culture 2. Power (hierarchy) 3. Resources 4. Time 5. Legisla,ve/regulatory 6. Supply and demand
Conflict in Collabora9ve Communi9es = inevitable!

Diffusion = path of idea adop,on. Transla9on = way an idea is altered. Transmuta9on = how value accumulates around an idea. Innova,on occurs at the point of disrup9on to what we “know” -‐-‐ tradi,on, status quo, power, rela,onships. At the point of impasse, we create new ways of understanding to resolve the conflict – emergent knowledge crea9on.
