Collaboration types
I’m looking at work and collaboration patterns to find out how social media can be introduced and managed into an organization. I hoped to find some easy answers on the internet, but it’s harder than I thought. So far I found some highly academic papers like the following:
- Patterns of Virtual Collaboration
- Groupware Patterns Map
- Towards an ontology of collaboration patterns
A little more accessible articles:
And a interesting site on Wikipatterns:
While I can’t really form a good overview yet, or find out if it relates to my quest to find workpatterns, I did appreciate the following metamodel (extracted from Towards an ontology of collaboration patterns ). It might come in handy for my research:
Collaboration stack
It gives a perspective on what I’m looking for. I’m interested in the top 3 levels. This should provide the starting point to address the different collaboration needs in an organization.
If someone has ideas on these top three levels of collaboration patterns, I would love to hear it. I will follow up this post with new information as soon as I find it.
