Whom did Bush consult before going to
war?
05/01/2004 04:46 AM
MATTHEWS: Mr. Secretary, let me ask you about the war in Iraq and the boldest question I could put to you here in the Pentagon. Did you ever advise the president to go to war?
[...]
RUMSFELD: You ought to get a life. You could do something besides read those books.

MATTHEWS: This is my life. Let me ask you about something a little more...

RUMSFELD: Let me answer your question.

MATTHEWS: Did you advise the president to go to war?

RUMSFELD: Yes. He did not ask me, is the question. And to my knowledge, there are a number of people he did not ask.

Woodward said he found that the administration quietly shifted money around to pay for early preparations for war in Iraq, without the approval of Congress. He said those preparations included building landing strips and addressing other military needs in Kuwait.

The money, about $700 million, was taken in July 2002 from a budget item that had been approved for the war in Afghanistan, Woodward wrote.

"Some people are going to look at that document called the Constitution, which says that no money will be drawn from the Treasury unless appropriated by Congress," Woodward says in his CBS interview.

Does this mean that the President didn't consult the Secretary of State or the Secretary of Defense or Congress on the decision to go to war?

It appears he did consult God.

I'm in Europe so I have no idea how much coverage this is getting in the US, but isn't this an important issue?

Padilla entitled to consult attorney.

03/12/2003 06:08 AM
US District Judge Michael B. Mukasey, in a funny 37 page decision devoted mainly to rebuking the government lawyers for their tendentiousness, delaying tactics, and "arguments permeated with the pinched legalism one usually encounters with non-lawyers," concludes by saying in effect, "I said you have to let Jose Padilla see his attorney, now let him see his attorney." I'm sure the government will appeal, and American citizen (and suspected terrorist) Jose Padilla will spend more time in jail without access to an attorney. He has spent 340 days there so far. See the Charge Padilla! website for a chronology of the case....

Peers of the Stall


Peers of the Stall 06/30/2004 02:16 PM
When I was nine years old I changed schools. In my old school kids picked on my classmates and me because we spoke French; in my new school kids picked on my classmates and me because we were "gifted." So, I pretty much felt at home right away. Like most nine-year-olds, peeing wasn't something I devoted a lot of thought to. I had avoided wetting my pants for a dog's age, and the issue simply didn't warrant much consideration beyond that. Over the years my shooting accuracy improved somewhat, but the basic mechanics had already been mastered. Peeing was old hat. Until.

Will That Be Coordination, Cooperation,
or Collaboration?


Will That Be Coordination, Cooperation,
or Collaboration?
03/25/2005 06:39 PM
The Idea: Three Words: Coordination, Cooperation, and Collaboration, are often used interchangeably. They shouldn't be.

Recently I specified< /a> the requirements for collaboration:

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

but I didn't define the term. The term is being cheapened ("collaboration tools", "collaborative environments") to the point where in many people's minds it's indistinguishable from cooperation and coordination, which are less elaborate and less ambitious collective undertakings. How can we differentiate between these terms in a meaningful way? Here are a few ways that I think they differ:


Coordination
Cooperation
Collaboration
Preconditions for Success ("Must-Haves")
Shared objectives; Need for more than one person to be involved; Understanding of who needs to do what by when
Shared objectives; Need for more than one person to be involved; Mutual trust and respect; Acknowledgment of mutual benefit of working together
Shared objectives; Sense of urgency and commitment; Dynamic process; Sense of belonging; Open communication; Mutual trust and respect; Complementary, diverse skills and knowledge; Intellectual agility
Enablers (Additional "Nice to Haves")
Appropriate tools (see below); Problem resolution mechanism
Frequent consultation and knowledge-sharing between participants; Clear role definitions; Appropriate tools (see below)
Right mix of people; Collaboration skills and practice collaborating; Good facilitator(s); Collaborative 'Four Practices' mindset and other appropriate tools (see below)
Purpose of Using This Approach
Avoid gaps & overlap in individuals' assigned work
Obtain mutual benefit by sharing or partitioning work
Achieve collective results that the participants would be incapable of accomplishing working alone
Desired Outcome
Efficiently-achieved results meeting objectives
Same as for Coordination, plus savings in time and cost
Same as for Cooperation, plus innovative, extraordinary, breakthrough results, and collective 'we did that!' accomplishment
Optimal Application
Harmonizing tasks, roles and schedules in simple environments and systems
Solving problems in complicated environments and systems
Enabling the emergence of understanding and realization of shared visions in complex environments and systems
Examples
Project to implement off-the-shelf IT application; Traffic flow regulation
Marriage; Operating a local community-owned utility or grain elevator; Coping with an epidemic or catastrophe
Brainstorming to discover a dramatically better way to do something; Jazz or theatrical improvisation; Co-creation
Appropriate Tools
Project management tools with schedules, roles, critical path (CPM), PERT and GANTT  charts; "who will do what by when" action lists
Systems thinking; Analytical tools (root cause analysis etc.)
Appreciative inquiry; Open Space meeting protocols; Four Practices; Conversations; Stories
Degree of interdependence in designing the effort's work-products (and need for physical co-location of participants)
Minimal
Considerable
Substantial
Degree of individual latitude in carrying out the agreed-upon design
Minimal
Considerable
Substantial

Where do teams, partnerships, think-tanks, open-source and joint ventures fit in this schema? The general
definition of a team is an interdependent group, which suggests that collaborative groups are teams, coordinated groups are not, and cooperative groups may or may not be. Partnerships and joint ventures are both, I would argue, primarily cooperative undertakings, whose objectives evolve over time. Open-source developments can run the gamut among all three types of undertaking. So theoretically can think-tanks, though in reality most think-tank work is solitary and not really collaborative. Even the work of scientists on major international projects is, I am told, substantially individual, with a lot more coordination and cooperation than true collaboration.

The last two rows of the above chart may seem somewhat paradoxical. It is relatively easy to coordinate the activities of a 'virtual' group that must work remotely and asynchronously, and much harder (but not impossible) to achieve virtual collaboration, especially if the collaborators already know each other. But once the 'design' of the collective work-product is done, the implementation work of a coordinated group is usually very explicit, while the implementation work of collaborators is necessarily more improvisational.

So what? Well, in many cases, collective work may be dysfunctional because it is organized as one of these types of undertaking when what is needed is another type. Or, based on a misunderstanding of the nature of the collective effort, the wrong resources and tools are provided, or the preconditions for success are not met. And collaboration is not always a better approach than coordination or cooperation. In situations where the Wisdom of Crowds is valuable (prediction, optimization and coordination problems), independence of 'crowd' members is essential, and cooperative or collaborative processes can lead to 'groupthink' and actually detract from the crowd's 'wisdom'. There is nothing more frustrating than being invited into a supposedly empowered, collaborative team and then being charged with a task that needs nothing more than a good project coordinator.

It all comes down to what you are trying to accomplish. The 'Purpose of Using This Approach" row of this chart is therefore perhaps the most important. A hammer, a wrench and a screwdriver are not interchangeable tools, and none is best for all situations.
