Personalizing Collaborative Work … Individuals and Co-creation

by Jon Husband

My friend / colleague Harold Jarche maintains an highly informative blog and website focused on elearning and the design and application of social computing to learning and effective knowledge work.

He recently uncovered an interesting graphic that speak to the notion of the individual user operating in an ongoing flow of information, taking in information and and co-creating knowledge while operating in continuous flows of information. It is increasingly apparent that individual cognitive styles and work habits must be considered as a key element in the process of collaboration, and I have commented on this issue in a previous post … I’ll Do It My Way – The Mass Customization of Knowledge Work.
