COLLABORATION

This is the process of two or more people or organizations working together to complete a task or achieve a goal.

^[1]Collaboration is similar to cooperation. Most collaboration requires leadership, although the form of leadership can be social within a decentralized and egalitarian group

Structured methods of collaboration encourage introspection of behavior and communication.

^[2] Such methods aim to increase the success of teams as they engage in collaborative problem-solving.
