what are the characteristics of quality collaboration?

posted ‎‎Mar 18, 2009 10:55 AM‎‎ by Tom Kirk   [ updated ‎‎Mar 19, 2009 5:00 AM‎‎ ]

One of the goals of this project is to identify the characteristics of quality collaboration.  A group of several dozen librarians, faculty and technologists in a workshop in August 2008 developed the following list.  Do you have any comments on the list?  Should items be added?  Should items be deleted?
  • Projects rather than changes in organizational structures
  • Management that values and rewards collaborative activity
  • Presence of leadership in the collaborating team
  • A set of complimentary skills/knowledge/personality are present in the team
  • Each person is given respect for their job
  • Utilize staff based on their experience and personality
  • Good communication
  • Members of collaborating group are risk takers
In addition to these "musts" there were other characteristics that received considerable support but were not a consensus for adding to the "must" list:
  • Institutional culture
  • Close physical proximity
  • Faculty participation (Collaboration is not a service; it requires intimate involvement of receivers of services as well as providers.)
