Collaboration

In our reading about cultivating communities of practice it talks about how organizations do a better job at improving itself  if certain individuals meet up after business hours to share information about technology. This meet up is called a tech club and I believe its a good way to collaborate. With this process groups can discuss better ways for the company can promote their products and improve innovation, then the club would share this information to other members of the company that they believe can fix the know issues that the company is facing .Knowledge shared between like minded individuals can benefit any community that wants to reach a common goal and is why collaboration between like minded individuals to tackle the hard tasks is better than just working alone. https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=m1xZuNq9RygC&oi=fnd&pg=PR9&dq=Cultivating-Communities-of-Practice&ots=ZV18fGcg9T&sig=vyYADEZsR-qdyrc_VRtO08fL0lY#v=onepage&q=Cultiv

Oct 9, 2015 • Tradeshift Editorial Team      In this week  main subject was describing a collaboration.  Collaboration I believe is a term used to describes groups of people from any background to come together to accomplish a main goal. In the ted talk we saw in class about Recaptcha and duolingo the owner of the software saw a flaw in the system that could that he believed needed to be fixed. His solution was to changed the way of how the software took the information that it was given and use it for a better purpose, such as translating books. This could be used as an example of collaboration as the company used the help of its consumers to find a better use of the product, but I believe that collaboration needs to have input from all party members. The consumers had no idea this new purpose was actually happening so can this example actually be used as collaboration?
