Defined as a CSM research project.
Work with different skill sets
Think BIGGER
They key element of collaboration is motivation. In order for a collar to succeed, everyone needs to feel they are gaining from the practice and they are doing a meaning full thing contributing to the end result.
In order to find the right collaborators to work with, the project needs to be communicated clearly. Giving information about the project
Collaboration benefits from a wide range of skills and expertise in the pool of participants. A diverse group f participants is often the best way to ensure that this is achieved.
What brief
what do we want to achieve
what does the client want to achieve
this will help define rolls
Be flexible with the ownership of ideas. This does not mean a team shouldn't give credit to individuals if credit is due, but any issues of ownership of ideas or concept need to be agreed on at the start.
The support of other collaborators is in the process is important, especially in the times of unforeseen difficulties Need to work on the basis of trust and if one person needs support, that support is available. If someone isn't doing work then they may not feel empowered, so this is part of the team to make everyone motivated and pick up work where necessary. Get them involved even if they cannot make it to a certain meeting, via Skype etc, so be lenient about peoples personal lives.
The group must be able to solve problems together. High tolerance for uncertainty is needed when a project changes direction or something does not go as planned.
Constantly seek feedback and work from that feedback as a team.
