• “Improve teamwork through the power of enterprise social
networking. You can also safely include trusted partners, customers

• “Business depends on teamwork. But traditional tools hamper as
much as help, resulting in wasted time, duplicated efforts and missed
opportunities. Hours get swallowed up by email and unproductive
meetings. Great ideas are lost in inboxes and siloed enterprise
software. Essential information is drowned out by noise. It doesn’t
have to be that way.” [Jive]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/xp-collaboration-v1-121218015615-phpapp02/85/Collaboration-as-it-really-is-Working-together-alone-2-320.jpg)

- 3. Collaboration is working together to achieve a goal. It is a recursive process where two or more people or organizations work together to realize shared goals, (this is more than the intersection of common goals seen in co- operative ventures, but a deep, collective, determination to reach an identical objective) Source: Wikipedia

- 9. Assumptions • Collaboration in a “regular” business context • The task at hand requires the involvement of several individuals; no single person is able to deliver the final outcome on his own • The final outcome is largely undefined; there might have been similar tasks before and there certainly is a "high concept" definition, but it remains a unique deliverable, not done before • The path to the solution is largely unknown. There might be past experience, best practices, methodologies, etc. that provide guidance; however, the real path will unfold as the group proceeds • Due to the above, there is the need for intense interaction between participants, exchanging information, making decisions and agreeing on next steps

The so-called collaboration is the outcome of the interactions that occur, initiated by the different participants for their own good reasons, but collaboration is not the purpose. .
