Hats On to the FAR team!

We took a day on Tuesday to let our research questions 'emerge' by going through the Qualitative Research Design book recommended in our course, and this also lead to us working out what information we 'need to know', so that we can be more strategic in this research phase of our thesis. We considered our goals (personal, intellectual and practical), looked at key concepts, factors, variables, relationships and assumtions, thought about our method and considered where we might go wrong.

So, our final research questions, at least for the next week are:

Can the web 2.0 and future web 3.0 enable strategic collaboration towards sustainability?

If so, how?

How do business models support/hinder the strategic potential of web collaboration?

Not bad for a days work and we all went home feeling like things were coming together and we were on the same page.



Wednesday provided a great follow-up to this whereby we were able to start exploring how we can use this wiki during our Thesis to explore and observe collaboration in the context of our Thesis Question. We started by exploring what we want it to be able to do, to be useful towards our thesis and created a giant mind map on the white board. Next up we wanted to collect and inspire our thoughts on the wiki, so we used this great 'hats' exercise which helped us to be objective and non-judgemental, culmulating in us generating a very positive list of actions towards this being really great resource.



There's still lots to do, so we're working on a timeline and schedule to keep us on track.

More soon
