Building Block #6

Create a Shared Work Space


  • Collaboration is a process of shared creation

  • A conversation is a shared workspace; a napkin to sketch upon; a flipchart to draw on; a computer network to share documents

  • Traditionally, managers have not thought of creating shared spaces for people because they have assumed that knowledge comes not from people thinking and interacting together, but from accumulating information.

  • Provide a shared space for people to build and test their inventions
