Virtual Collaboration: If You Can't Work
Side-by-Side
Virtual Collaboration: If You Can't Work
Side-by-Side
03/19/2005 02:58 AM
The Idea: What do you do if you need or want to collaborate,
but
you can't do so in person? What purposes are best served by weblogs,
wikis, and other types of online collaboration tools, spaces and
media?
Collaboration entails finding
the right group of people (skills, personalities, knowledge,
work-styles, and chemistry), ensuring they share commitment to the
collaboration task at hand, and providing them with an environment,
tools, knowledge, training, process and facilitation to ensure they
work together effectively. This is challenging enough face-to-face in
real-time. It's doubly difficult virtually and asynchronously. But
there are examples of great music, literature, invention, scientific
discovery and problem-solving that have come from such handicapped
collaboration. How did they do it, and can you improve the likelihood
of brilliant virtual collaboration by using the right tools and
media?
Let's take a look at some of the alternatives:

All of the above

There are three levels of collaboration based on duration of
contact:
- Conversations: Where you're in contact just once, or a
few times, discussing a particular subject or group of
subjects.
- Projects: Where you're in contact as often as
necessary to complete a project.
- Alliances: Where you're in
contact in multiple
conversations and on multiple projects, working together for an
indefinite period of time.
A collaborative conversation
may be provoked by an interesting or important idea or an urgent
one-off need for information or assistance. Much of the time spent in
business is consumed in consulting with others, in canvassing for
ideas
or suggestions or comments, and in making decisions on what something
means or how to respond to it. These are generally quick,
collaborative
conversations. In large organizations these conversations are usually
peer-to-peer (where trust is stronger than up or down the hierarchy),
and as size increases further they tend to be more and more
intermediated (one middle-manager recently told me that 70% of his
e-mail and 50% of his telephone calls are of the "Who should I talk to
about X?" variety). In smaller organizations, these conversations are
more likely to draw on external networks, and to involve the use of
today's clunky social networking tools like LinkedIn and eCademy. I
have argued before that the next generation of social networking tools
should include 'people-finders' that streamline and automate the
process of finding the right person (inside or outside the
organization) to talk to, so that more time can be spent on actual
conversations with those people.
Once you've found the right person to converse with, if they're close
and inexpensive to talk to in
person,
that's likely what you'll do. But what if they aren't? How do you
quickly provide your Conversation Collaborators with the context they
need to converse with you effectively when you can't put a chart or a
piece of paper in front of them and brief them? Organizations have
found that if the person you want to converse with face-to-face is
more
than two minutes walk (or
elevator ride) away, the probability of you making the effort to
converse with them in person drops precipitously.
If you have a blog, an audience, and a little time, your blog can
serve
this need well. Ask a question on a popular blog and you'll probably
get an informed answer quite quickly (thank you readers!) Most
businesses, alas, have few established blogs and even less time.
Preferred conversation tools in business, when face-to-face is
impossible, are now IM and the telephone -- with IM trumping the phone
for its self-documentation, its suitability to multi-tasking, and
because it's easier to browse than voice-mail, and the phone trumping
IM if a lot of iteration is needed to provide context. White-boarding
and document-sharing applications, awkward as they are, can be helpful
additions to IM and telephone conversations if the participants are
savvy enough to use them properly (most aren't) and if documents and
graphics are needed to provide more context. E-mail is the
increasingly
unpopular fall-back.
Discussion forums are the ultimate tool of last resort for
conversations, because of the disadvantages listed above. In most of
the companies I am familiar with, they are only sporadically used and
quickly grow stale.
A variety of tools have been developed for more enduring project collaborations and alliance
collaborations. Because they tend to involve more participants than
conversations do, the logistics get tougher and the effectiveness of
these tools gets more challenging. And the threshold point for giving
up on the viability of in-person collaboration rises dramatically. I
think this is an absolutely critical point. It is the reason large
corporations, with the internal resources (people and money) to
sequester, have the capacity to collaborate more effectively than
small
corporations and loose, unfunded collaborative groups (though whether
they use that capacity to advantage is another question entirely).
Open
Source project teams and alliances have pioneered low-budget, virtual,
asynchronous collaboration, and are the role model to follow. But is
the reason for this perhaps that Open Source collaborations are
generally undertaken by exceptionally tech-savvy groups, very agile at
using and even inventing their own collaborative tools to get the job
done? They usually have a good GUI for the non-techie, but wade into
the material and collaboration technology behind a lot of these groups
and your head will start spinning. What about the other 95% of the
population? If I want to set up a virtual collaboration team to design
a model intentional community (with people I might end up spending the
rest of the my life with) or to invent a post-capitalist economy (a
large project if there ever was one), what tools and media should I
use?
Wikis are one place to start -- a bit nerdy and physically inelegant
but functional and not that hard to learn once you take the plunge.
They are, however, asynchronous tools, which is a significant barrier
to true collaboration.
There are some more robust collaborative 'spaces' for communities of
interest and communities of practice to adopt, but some of the best
'groupware' (like Groove and Exchange and eRooms) costs money and
requires considerable learning to use its different tools effectively.
These tools generally also require a coordinator to invest a lot of
time to setting up and managing the 'space'.
There are a variety of document-sharing technologies in the market,
which allow several people to see a document at once and to 'take
control' each in turn to change that document.
Ideally, using a combination of
- Skype (free global VoIP telephony),
- White-boarding (everyone online can see what anyone
posts to the white-board),
- Document-sharing and
- Mindmapping or some similar session annotation tool
(everyone can see what the group's 'scribe' has documented as the
findings, decisions and next actions from the collaboration)
would be a close approximation to an in-person collaborative session.
But that's a lot of
technology to juggle on your screen, to hog and interfere with your
bandwidth, and (if you opt for the more powerful tools in these
categories) can also require some outlay of money. My experience has
been (thanks in no small part to the valuable insights of online
communication wizard Robin Good and
Skypemaster Stu Henshall)
that video-conferencing (seeing the people you're talking with online)
is a "nice to have" not a "need to have", especially when bandwidth
limitations force you to choose which applications to have running at
any one time.
I am confident that, as bandwidth and processing power continue to
expand, we will soon see:
- A single, free, reliable, easy-to-use,
professional-looking
application that will provide what I've called Simple Virtual Presence
-- the four applications listed above plus the option of
videoconferencing (illustrated above), and
- A simple, free,
easy-to-use collaboration space where the results
of the online collaboration sessions, and a library of relevant
resources and links, are stored, with wiki-like capability so it can
be
maintained by any and all in the group.
Now that would be a real virtual collaboration
environment.
