Collaboration, Cooperation, Coordination

I’m just getting into full-on del-icio.us mode (I guess I’m becoming del.icio.us–couldn’t resist), and before moving on to other errands (errants?) I tried out the “popular” page. Just a little roll of the dice, or what Eno would call an “oblique strategy.” What to my wandering eyes should appear but a very fine piece by Dave Pollard that successfully distinguishes collaboration, cooperation, and coordination. This is one strong essay, and it comes with a nifty matrix that provokes much thought. There are all sorts of ramifications here for what I do as a supervisor, leader, manager, teacher, and student.

Another good one here.

Thanks, Dave. This grey day is starting to look up.
