Group Genius: Post #3--Collaborative Process

Collaborative Process: Looking at jazz and improv comedy, Keith Sawyer observed 10 things about the process. Here are a few: 1) Innovation emerges over time—it’s a bit-by-bit thing that can be invisible until it’s observed scientifically; 2) Successful collaborative teams practice deep listening—you have to listen closely to react naturally and develop the process; 3) Team members build on their teammates’ ideas—deep listening leads to reacting and building the story; 4) Meaning comes later—the team improvises toward meaning, that comes after the process has a chance to work.
