Class description
Winter 2002 Creative Collaboration "In the future, the source of human achievement will not be extraordinary individuals, but extraordinary combinations of peopleŠ" Robert Hargrove
Collaborative teams are much more than working groups of people. In an effective collaborative team, people function synergetically to create innovation and energy far greater than the sum of their individual capabilities. Leading- edge reseachers are now defining methods for creating teams that collaborative and innovate.
"This is the only way to go. This is the way everything is going." John Seely Brown, chief scientist, Xerox Palo Alto Research Center
