Relationship Building & Online Collaboration

A PublicForum Webinar

Thursday, 16 September 2010, 15:00 Eastern (New York) / 19:00 GMT (90 minutes)
Free for Circle Club members.

You can make collaborations more successful by building in explicit relationship-building and problem solving processes. In this discussion, we'll explore how to link tools and practices to get better results more often. As an example, we'll assess one virtual collaboration that blends a social network and structured synchronous and asynchronous problem solving to tackle a community's problem. And we'll work together to see how that design (and others) can be improved. Think about your own virtual experiences with online collaboration and be prepared to join in.

Please join us for this great program, led by David Friedman of Bridgewell Partners.

Following the presentation, there'll be time for Q&A/discussion.
