I eagerly read about a new social psychology research study in which whites, Asians, and Latinos engaged in a simple collaborative activity--making a music video together. So consider this just the first of many posts related to issues of cultural inclusion, evaluation, and impact.

Nowhere is this truer than in the online collaboration space. In cases where an organization wants to engage in collaboration online but doesn't know exactly how, they could certainly evaluate the options and do a detailed software selection to find the "right" solution. The tools are now there.

It sounded great, until her last comment: She told me that it was a really important program, because libraries are the heart of the community…well, in elementary schools at least. That word change supports co-design, it encourages collaboration, and it ensures engagement. Communities are flexible.

While some were simple and descriptive ("very geometric," "they both feature red"), other labels revealed surprising connections ("it's what your insides look like," "silent sound"). All of these were designed intentionally to support the exhibition goals around multi-vocality, surprise, and relationships among artworks.

In our analog world we are too focused on processes that aren’t scaleable or shareable – meaning we have a lot of meetings, we write things down on paper, and when someone that wasn’t in our meeting or isn’t in our town needs to collaborate with us, we have to invest in catching them up and recreating the work we have already done.

What happens when a formal art museum invites a group of collaborative, participatory artists to be in residence for a year? This issue is highlighted in the Giant Hand project at the Hammer, in which Machine Project artists and collaborators created a Monty Python-esque, oversized hand to help visitors navigate the museum.

Interest in the collaborative writing process. Several said things like, "I was curious to see how this kind of participatory, collaborative approach would work in practice." So, some of that is about power, about the idea that I might be able to influence something, as well as just being heard."

While this may sound hyperbolic, take a moment to think about how our business landscape has changed over just the last five years. The reality is that I collaborate with strong partners on data and the associated analytics then spend the time needed to understand and evaluate our fundraising programs at Project HOPE.
