Abstract:

Since early 1900, there has been a continuing evolution in problems, data sets, technology, and methodology, plus the number and perspective of stakeholders. Significant problems today are highly complex in structure and multidisciplinary in nature, with massive data sets. In response, we developed a value-creating process to solve stakeholder problems, view of collaboration's success factors, and fabric of collaboration success factors woven into the process. It expands Fisher's 3 problems in reducing data and Mallow's 0th problem. Five factors critical to collaboration are community of collaborator relationships, commitment to community goals, communication in community language, change produced by contributions to community goals, and control from stakeholder evaluation. We know no other process as problem and data driven, stakeholder focused, value-oriented, or collaborative as ours.
