The key question is:
How should the process tip over the individual responsibility to a collective one?
Questions
- What is the purpose, the intention of this collaboration? Why do we work on this?
- What are the objectives? And the objective of the objective?
- Can I link the collaboration to a meaningfull vision?
- By how much is the success of this collaboration depending on the active participation of the people, on diversity, on creativity?
- By how far is the group co-creating its purpose and by how far is it imposed?
