Generating better design ideas through collaboration. Collaboration is to Reduce Asymmetrical Information. One Pause Poetry. From Sarah Messer, One Pause Poetry Director Listen… When thinking about the One Pause mp3 Project, a few amazing audio archives immediately come to mind.
Penn Sound, which has the best and oldest recordings of poets I've found on the web, and From the Fishouse, which is singular in its awesomeness and groundbreaking in its collection of emerging poets. Another great site is the audio-journal Textsound, run by Laura Wetherington and Anna Vitale. This site strips it down to mere sound, publishing a wide range of experimental poems in a collected bi-annual audio journal. Laura is the first in a series of One Pause guest bloggers who will be writing on different poetic topics. Welcome, Laura. 100+ Self-Growth Mind Maps.

Aligning brand and customer service Connecting people with content Harnessing tacit knowledge with communities. How Popcorn Maker adds a new layer of information to a TEDTalk. This morning, we’re thrilled to present a TEDTalk as you have never seen a TEDTalk before — with a clickable layer of information that anyone can add to, edit or remix.
Working on Beau Lotto and Amy O’Toole’s new TEDTalk, the team at Mozilla used their new web-based video editing / annotating tool, Popcorn Maker. Today’s TED Talk from Ryan Merkley offers an early look at the tool from this summer at TEDGlobal. Watch Beau and Amy’s talk below and click on the pop-ups to grab links to their papers, video, maps, Wikipedia references and much more data — as well as inspiring quotes from experts in the field of play and education. JKJ Project: Collaboration. Comic strip for 06/13/2000 from the official Dilbert comic strips archive. Cooperation. L2C - About. See also: the L2C Public web site at: www.l2c.info Effective collaboration dynamics are at the core of learning, knowledge exchange and innovation processes.
Nevertheless, in today’s global environment, a large number of collaboration initiatives fail to deliver the value expected, as complexity is enhanced by the diversity and the distributed nature of the people, groups, and knowledge sources and by the knowledge integration processes involved. Effective collaboration competencies are hence emerging as a key condition for productive and sustainable value creation at the individual, team, organisational and inter-organisational level. The project builds on interdisciplinary scientific/academic models and best/worst practices and experiences to identify the factors inhibiting effective collaboration (“Collaboration Traps & Challenges”), and the interventions required to reduce these risks (“Collaboration Management Competencies”). related project: EIS Simulation?

The June Issue of The Harvard Business Review had a nice article on Idea Management Systems, which the authors, Morten Hansen and Julian Birkinshaw, called “innovation value chains.”
In Hansen and Birkinshaw’s model, the innovation value chain consists of stages of Idea Generation ConversionDiffusion or more explicitly, stages of In-house idea creationCross-pollination of ideas across unitsExternal collaboration on ideas with parties outside the firmSelection of ideas through screening and provision of initial fundingDevelopment of ideas – moving from idea to resultSpread or dissemination of the developed innovation across the organization (by which the authors mean developing appropriate metrics to measure the success of the innovation) Quite coincidentally (!)

Artwork: Andy Gilmore, Chromatic, 2010, digital drawing If you were looking for teams to rig for success, a call center would be a good place to start.
The skills required for call center work are easy to identify and hire for. The tasks involved are clear-cut and easy to monitor. Just about every aspect of team performance is easy to measure: number of issues resolved, customer satisfaction, average handling time (AHT, the golden standard of call center efficiency). And the list goes on. Why, then, did the manager at a major bank’s call center have such trouble figuring out why some of his teams got excellent results, while other, seemingly similar, teams struggled? The truth is quite the opposite. Looking for the “It Factor” When we set out to document the behavior of teams that “click,” we noticed we could sense a buzz in a team even if we didn’t understand what the members were talking about.
