• The Collaboration Imperative
  
  As companies wade through these challenging times, I see a distinct shift towards another new paradigm: Collaboration 2.0. There's growing recognition everywhere of the need for corporations to collaborate with government, with customers, with NGOs , with stakeholders--and even with competition. In order to survive, business requires the cover of a collaborative ecosystem that will probably render obsolete traditional views of competition. This is the Version 2.0 era.

• Social Networking is the Means to Achieve Workplace Collaboration
  
  wrote a post about how collaboration was not the means, but rather an end made possible by the means of social networking tools. My post was initially inspired by one speaker's (WFED's Chris Dorobek ) notion, shared by some others (Justin Houk commented that, "Taxpayers don't want to think about those in government sitting around on Twitter all day even thought that might be an effective way to collaborate."), that social networking tools come across as too social or "fun" and that being social is not what people are truly doing (in the government) when they use them - they're collaborating.

• Bulldoze Your Cubicles for Better Collaboration
  
  With concerns about knowledge-sharing among older and younger generations of employees skyrocketing, organizations are concluding that impersonal "cube farms" discourage collaboration, stifle employee engagement and, as a result, strangle innovation at the exact time when it's desperately needed. Both generations have strong but similar opinions about the best environment for these interactions to occur: While a private, personal workspace is the top quality of an ideal office, rating 89% among both Boomers and Ys, the demand for communal areas for collaboration follows close behind.

• The Evolution of Collaborative Innovation
  
  For over a dozen years now the concept of collaborative innovation has been at the center of much of my work.  The Internet, and all the social media platforms and applications in its wake have been one of the major enablers of collaborative innovation the world has ever known. Then there is my work with Linux, which started around this time ten years ago when we finalized the decision to launch a company-wide Linux initiative .  In any event, IBM and It is a common theme in my talks and seminars, as well as in my blog.  This is not surprising given the nature of the initiatives

• Toward a More Distributed, Collaborative Government
  
  But, for a distributed organization to work effectively, it must adopt a culture of collaboration across its most important tasks. Collaboration is particularly important when facing new kinds of problems from those you usually deal with – the kinds of problems where truly innovative approaches are typically most needed. In our increasingly networked world, collaboration also extends beyond the firm. There is general agreement that the corporation is going through dramatic changes in the 21st century, driven by a combination of advances in information technologies, the Internet, the fast-changing market environment, and the heightened competitive pressures brought about by globalization.
