Friday 9/14 at the NMHM - The Future of Collaboration

[Tom Johnson]

All:

My Institute for Analytic Journalism is co-sponsoring this, but that aside, the topic is key for not just scientific endeavors, but for the survival and advancement of all organizations hoping to function in the Digital Age.  "Collaboration" here refers to work inside an organization as well as with entities outside. 

We will limit this to ~25 participants, so let me know quickly if you would like to attend.

All the best,
Tom

==================================================================================

On Friday September 14th we'd like to spend the day exploring the future of collaboration - from science and models to physical settings to technological tools to psychological frameworks to who knows what else.

My partners and I have been involved in designing and facilitating large group collaborative planning processes for more than 20 years. We're basically system integrators - where collaboration includes an appreciation for systems, design, creativity (knowledge of a creative process), behavioral dynamics, group process, and a whole lot of other stuff. But all that is 'old.' We'd like to bust out of some of our ways of thinking about how collaboration works and explore new territory and potentially new ways of approaching how people work, learn, solve problems and collaborate in person and across time and space. 

Some of the questions to stimulate conversation during the day might include:

• Where is all this social, mobile, cloud and big data trends headed? What's next?
• What's the influence of these trends on how people will collaborate?
• What other trends are important and might influence how people collaborate in the future?

• How does complex adaptive systems and complexity theory play into the way people will collaborate in the future?
• What about patch theory?
• What neurological research will influence the way we work and learn? 
• Is there a structured way to create organic, emergent behavior in groups? 

• What's the difference between same time, same place collaboration (face to face) and same time different place collaboration (virtual) or different time different place (asynchronous)? What other modes will emerge?
• How would we define the landscape of collaboration (for individuals and groups)? 

• What is the relationship between creativity, design and collaboration?
• What are the right uses for collaboration?
• When is structure required for collaboration? 
• When is no structure 'required' for collaboration?

• What's unique about how large organizations will collaborate across time and geography? 
• What tools will individuals use? 
• What tools will organizations use?
• Is there a 'mash up' that would uniquely impact the way people work and learn?
• What's the difference between collaboration for getting work done and collaboration for learning?
• What is particularly important about the 'place' where collaboration happens? 

What other questions might drive conversation and/or insights? 

We'll document the results of the conversation and make that available to everyone who attends. 

Everyone is invited! AND, please let me know if there are people that should be invited to the conversation. Scientists? Physicists? Psychologists? Behaviorist? Artists? Designers? SFI fellows? Please share the invitation with anyone you feel might find value and/or have a point of view about any of the above.

Hi Tom,
I'd definitely like to attend.

I'm also the CEO of MyIdeaTree.com, a "connect-the-dots" collaborative tool.  Any opportunity for demo-ing, with discussion on future trends?

Hi Tom,
Michael said you hadn't yet set up for demos, but to bring my laptop and see what transpired.

In the meantime, I'm very interested in your work.  Do you have articles or papers that I can reference, summarize, link to in my newsletter?

Also, I overheard a week ago at FRIAM St. John's coffee that you were looking for a board member for the radio station?  What skills are you looking for?  I'll keep my ears open.

Ron:

The board is about six weeks away from officially looking for more members.  I think we will be looking for (1) people who are here in Santa Fe most of the time and is willing to do actual work as opposed to just writing checks; (2) someone with good financial experience; (3) someone with good marketing experience; (4) someone besides myself who understands the dynamics of the Digital Age.

But all that is 'old.' We'd like to bust out of some of our ways of thinking about how collaboration works and explore new territory and potentially new ways of approaching how people work, learn, solve problems and collaborate in person and across time and space. 

Some of the questions to stimulate conversation during the day might include:

• Where is all this social, mobile, cloud and big data trends headed? What's next?
• What's the influence of these trends on how people will collaborate?
• What other trends are important and might influence how people collaborate in the future?

• How does complex adaptive systems and complexity theory play into the way people will collaborate in the future?
• What about patch theory?
• What neurological research will influence the way we work and learn? 
• Is there a structured way to create organic, emergent behavior in groups? 

• What's the difference between same time, same place collaboration (face to face) and same time different place collaboration (virtual) or different time different place (asynchronous)? What other modes will emerge?
• How would we define the landscape of collaboration (for individuals and groups)? 

• What is the relationship between creativity, design and collaboration?
• What are the right uses for collaboration?
• When is structure required for collaboration? 
• When is no structure 'required' for collaboration?

• What's unique about how large organizations will collaborate across time and geography? 
• What tools will individuals use? 
• What tools will organizations use?
• Is there a 'mash up' that would uniquely impact the way people work and learn?
• What's the difference between collaboration for getting work done and collaboration for learning?
• What is particularly important about the 'place' where collaboration happens? 

What other questions might drive conversation and/or insights? 

We'll document the results of the conversation and make that available to everyone who attends. 

Everyone is invited! AND, please let me know if there are people that should be invited to the conversation. Scientists? Physicists? Psychologists? Behaviorist? Artists? Designers? SFI fellows? Please share the invitation with anyone you feel might find value and/or have a point of view about any of the above.

I am interested in attending. Live and work in MN however I could fit this in with a trip to Denver the following week.

I am a design engineer, scholar of Bucky Fuller, biomimicry education fellow, and teach online sustainable design classes through MCAD. Interested in how I can get my students doing more collaboration.

Curt,
I couldn't help responding...
Biomimicry was the original inspiration for my collaboration software company, MyIdeaTree.com.  Especially Janine Benyus' book (I lived in Montana at the time, her home state).  I also interviewed one of the people featured in her book while in Santa Barbara.  Gad you are coming!

Cool! I will have to try it out. I use mind mapping with my students, and just helped Len Troncale map some of his systems isomorphies using cmap tools.

You can find some of the background for that work in a paper linked here:
http://lentroncale.com/?page_id=10

Other readers might be interested in his work on systems pathology mentioned here:
http://lentroncale.com/?page_id=94

Thanks for the reply!

==================================================================================

On Friday September 14th we'd like to spend the day exploring the future of collaboration - from science and models to physical settings to technological tools to psychological frameworks to who knows what else.

My partners and I have been involved in designing and facilitating large group collaborative planning processes for more than 20 years. We're basically system integrators - where collaboration includes an appreciation for systems, design, creativity (knowledge of a creative process), behavioral dynamics, group process, and a whole lot of other stuff. But all that is 'old.' We'd like to bust out of some of our ways of thinking about how collaboration works and explore new territory and potentially new ways of approaching how people work, learn, solve problems and collaborate in person and across time and space. 

Some of the questions to stimulate conversation during the day might include:

• Where is all this social, mobile, cloud and big data trends headed? What's next?
• What's the influence of these trends on how people will collaborate?
• What other trends are important and might influence how people collaborate in the future?

• How does complex adaptive systems and complexity theory play into the way people will collaborate in the future?
• What about patch theory?
• What neurological research will influence the way we work and learn? 
• Is there a structured way to create organic, emergent behavior in groups? 

• What's the difference between same time, same place collaboration (face to face) and same time different place collaboration (virtual) or different time different place (asynchronous)? What other modes will emerge?
• How would we define the landscape of collaboration (for individuals and groups)? 

• What is the relationship between creativity, design and collaboration?
• What are the right uses for collaboration?
• When is structure required for collaboration? 
• When is no structure 'required' for collaboration?

• What's unique about how large organizations will collaborate across time and geography? 
• What tools will individuals use? 
• What tools will organizations use?
• Is there a 'mash up' that would uniquely impact the way people work and learn?
• What's the difference between collaboration for getting work done and collaboration for learning?
• What is particularly important about the 'place' where collaboration happens? 

What other questions might drive conversation and/or insights? 

We'll document the results of the conversation and make that available to everyone who attends. 

Everyone is invited! AND, please let me know if there are people that should be invited to the conversation. Scientists? Physicists? Psychologists? Behaviorist? Artists? Designers? SFI fellows? Please share the invitation with anyone you feel might find value and/or have a point of view about any of the above.

Curt,
Interesting how you're using complexity to simplify.  From the first paper you link to below: "Learning theory experiments have indicated that students learn more when presented with a general framework", and the application of equilibrium, emergency, cyling, etc., to teaching science...very elegant.  I'd like to see the concept maps you did.

You can find some of the background for that work in a paper linked here:

Biomimicry was the original inspiration for my collaboration software company, MyIdeaTree.com.  Especially Janine Benyus' book (I lived in Montana at the time, her home state).  I also interviewed one of the people featured in her book while in Santa Barbara.  Gad you are coming!

This seems to have bounced, sending again.

The ones so far are pretty simple! They show a small set of "linkage propositions" that relate two systems processes.

Example would be: feedback is a partial cause of equilibrium. Not sure if the list allows attachments, however will do so and if they don't go through folks can send me a note and will forward directly. The presentation from this summer is being put into a paper which I can provide in a few weeks.

Looks like at least one of the Integrated Science General Education papers is on the web:
http://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu//full/2004IAUS..213..567T/0000567.000.html

The basic idea: cycles are found across all disciplines of science. There are cycles in astronomy, geology, biology, and ... So have a basic science class that teaches these common system properties to all students. Make it pedagogically robust by tying the common system properties into current research.
