The WORD for Today...

Col-lab-o-ra-tion
Noun

Collaboration is a recursive process where two or more people or organizations work together toward an intersection of common goals —by sharing knowledge, learning and building consensus.

In particular, teams that work collaboratively can obtain greater resources, recognition and reward when facing competition for finite resources.

Structured methods of collaboration encourage introspection of behavior and communication. These methods specifically aim to increase the success of teams as they engage in collaborative problem solving. Forms, rubrics, charts and graphs are useful in these situations to objectively document personal traits with the goal of improving performance in current and future projects. (Wikipedia, 2008)
