Sydney
22 September 2010Tonya is from the Centre for social innovation TorontoShared space to catalyst social innovation
Collaboration is the DNA of SI
Often SI comes out of rage and frustration
What are the systems that hold people in their patterns?
Collaboration methods:
1. Cooperation is a win win
2. Coordination puts a little at risk. Shared success.
3. Strategic partnerships, coalitions etcWhat are the collaboration fundamentals?
Internet - a fundamental shift
Better faster cheaper collaboration
More connected
Open source etc. Is a new model
Eg firefox
Jane's walk web platform allowing self organizing systems and open innovation
Google maps bring together communities of interest and place
Eg patchmatch
Network of networks . Beyond membership to goals
Cooperative economy
Eg eBay open source
Scaled aggregation eg tech soup software donations
Kiva
Crowd sourcing, SI camps where we believe we have the answers
Brands are better shared - relationships
Open source=co creation
Converging interest is where collaboration happens
Organizing around relevance
We are all equal where new power and system can get tractionThe constellation model
Be honest and get together a list of self interest and core competencies.
Trust building = creating a safe space
It takes good, inspiring people
Magnetic attractor is how you define threat or opportunity. The change you want to see. How your partners pick you because they are in your ecosystem
Chaos -
Constellations - self organizing action teams working towards the magnetic attractor. Self interested
Stewardship group - aligning the constellations to strategically bring everyone in behind the magnetic attractors. Natural thought leaders, wise heads. Network orchestrators.
Shared vision - helps the stewardship group to be strategic and responsive. Need to work in both spaces
Third party - doesn't work for anybody, works for everyone. Enabler. No voice or comment. Collaboration leader but doesn't upstage other leaders
Energy - move quickly action. Only through action will people stay engaged. Don't worry about process. Leverage threat. Action draws interest.
Lightweight governance and movement of leadership based on competency
What do we agree on?
Constellations can come up and die. It's a developmental model, a container to see if the magnetic attractor has legs
Organic and ever changing
