Using Collaborative Innovation Networks to Improve Early Intervention Sysytems
A Collaborative Innovation Network, or COIN, is a social construct used to describe innovative teams. It has been defined by the originator of the term, Peter Gloor, as 'a cyberteam of self-motivated people with a collective vision…to collaborate in achieving a common goal by sharing ideas, information, and work.' This presentation explores the emergence of Collaborative Innovative Networks (COINs), and discusses how the state of Washington is using the COIN framework to connect statewide stakeholders by taking advantage of the wide connectivity and support of communication technologies, extending beyond the organizational perimeter of agencies and service providers on a state level.
The COIN in WA is made up of a group of self motivated individuals (professionals, parents and community members) linked by common goals of improving existing early intervention (EI) systems, and the goal of providing EI services that reflect best practices. The strength of this group is related to their ability to activate creative and open collaboration, share knowledge, and the positive affect of individual capabilities and agencies’/organizations’ performances.
In this presentation you will learn a framework on how to conduct stakeholder or COIN meetings including determining who should be on the invitation list, how to assign various roles within the group, the fair process of the meeting, and establishing outcomes. Our presentation will focus on Gloor’s five essential elements of collaborative innovation networks:
1. Evolve from learning networks
2. Feature sound ethical principles
3. Based on trust and self-organization
4. Make knowledge accessible to everyone
5. Operate in internal honesty and transparency
- 1) Articulate specific elements in the group meeting process of a Collaborative Innovative Network (COIN).
- 2) Utilize the framework to conduct Collaborative Innovative Network meetings that include a variety of stakeholders.
- 3) Define Gloor’s five essential elements of Collaborative Innovative Networks.
