improvedcollaboration

when a single human being is creating there is bliss

as soon as one other person joins the first

things often get really messy pretty quickly

after a honeymoon period

when the new co-creation team is excited about the initial agreement

that there's value in the initial concept

things get even messier as new minds are added to the collaboration

soon & often the harmony becomes misery

complexity takes over the simplicity

agreement loses out to disagreement

battle lines begin to emerge

i have spent years actively thinking about & creating in a space i call

improved collaboration

the focus here is helping to maintain the harmony in the further development process

it's creating a whole new process that keeps co-creators happier in the process

it recognizes some fundamental characteristics of human behavior

specifically as it relates to dealing with other people in collaborations

what i have come up with is very very different

and all keys off a fundamental concept

of preventing individuals from becoming obstacles to moving the required work forward
