I would like to take you along in the vision of Jorien Enning. But first perhaps an explanation of that strange title. Enning was very aware of the danger of clichés and therefore decided to choose new, surprising angles and examples. And the book title describes three of those examples.
Sometimes it can't be done without cooperation: about black holes
Some things seem impossible, like photographing a black hole. As early as 2000, German astronomer Falcke had the ambition to take such a photo. He asked fellow scientists to collaborate and share knowledge and technology.
His colleagues were critical and distrustful of him. He had not yet built up a reputation. Some questions were: 'who do we really need to make this
It was finally 2019 when it happened. Falcke had built up a name for himself and had spent years building relationships. And finally, he and his fellow campaigners managed to connect all the telescopes in the world and take this groundbreaking photo.Black hole
This is something we see more and more greece telegram data in organizations. There is a need to work together, because you can't do it alone. Successful organizations form networks with others and share knowledge, technology and data.
In his book 'The Age of Agile' (aff.) Stephen Denning calls this ' the law of the network '. After explaining this, Enning invites the reader to reflect on their own previous collaborations. This can be done with a number of powerful questions:
What made this collaboration so special?
Did all colleagues have to work together or did they want to?
How will colleagues remember your contribution and performance?
But… collaboration is only possible if all parties feel the importance and therefore want to work together. And then success depends on the collaborative ability of everyone involved, or in other words, being able to work together.
These are the two parts of the book: choosing to collaborate and the art of collaboration.
Want to collaborate
Choosing cooperation requires openness and trust. Three pillars here are.
