L E A R N I N G S
Working on meaningful problems of CBEs together: Why? We want better public spaces to have fun in, feel safe in and live better lives in.
Payment: As collaborators, we often share project costs, seek external funding together, or contribute resources in-kind (e.g., staff time or expertise) rather than a fixed system of making monetary payments to each other.
IP ownership in collaborative projects should be defined in agreements. It's crucial to clarify these aspects upfront to avoid disputes later.
S
Conducting post collaboration reviews, and not repeating mistakes.
R
Making enough time and effort to find great partners.
Clarify the start and intended end point of the collaboration. Idea? Research? Prototype? Space?
Respectfulness. Politely and firmly disagreeing is an ongoing skill being built. Losing our cool is easy and often pointless.
A failed project is not the same thing as a failed collaboration. If anything, it builds the motivation for working on multiple opportunities after.
Clarifying the start and intended end point of the collaboration. Idea? Research? Prototype? Space?
Jumping in too quickly with unknown partners without discussing pain points upfront. Especially without checking if there are common ethics, missions and goals. Ouch.
