Great post on collaboration, which I won't spoil by revealing the ending: "Collaboration is about experiencing interdependence. Let me repeat those two words: Experiencing Interdependence. A self - you, me, whoever - steps into a group, and becomes a one connected to many others, collecting energy in and distributing energy back out. Like breathing. So if we dolly back, we see collaboration as a closed system with a kind of natural internal circulation. Any collaboration 'methodology' that can sideline conventional social roles and stories and support the free circulation of ideas, feelings and instinctual energy is getting it right." Note that while the analysis is interesting, it is the conversation at the end of the piece that draws the useful conclusions. See also this post, which looks at collaboration and complexity.
