Embrace changeCollaboration is key and it develops ownership
INDIVIDUAL IDEAS
Drew: “I would find a way to use sports to impact kids across the world and spread the gospel”
Bob: “Would find a way to surgically help children with a birth defect”
Isak: “I would organize a hands-across-the-world rally.”
COLLABORATIVE PROCESS
We each had 3 very different ideas Wanted a project that was practical
and feasible, but challenging Brainstormed using our common
interests and resources
BRAINSTORMING
Individual ideas coming together Sawyer (2007) p. 61
Osborn’s study: Increase effectiveness from individual brainstorming ideas collaboratively put together
We adopted that approach to our project. We had our own ideas and met together
to make our grand idea work “Brainstorming is the most popular
creativity technique of all time” (Sawyer, p. 60)
BRAINSTORMING

on 2 separate dates Availability and Scheduling with the
teams Location of clinics: APU vs. Homework
House Campus Logistics of getting kids to campus or bring
players to kids Availability of facility

TRUST
We trusted the respective collaboration organizations to come through for us. Homework House to fulfill commitment to
bring kids to the clinics Trusted each other to connect with our
organizations to make the project possible. We trusted that the teams would
organize the clinics. Did not know the extent the activities
We trusted each other to complete the project with the power point presentation and video.
Who’s Line Is It Anyway?
Improvised selecting which sports and clinics to organize Gave full rein of the running of the clinics
to the athletics teams Rain became a factor as far as
bringing the kids to APU No solidified contingency plan was
made because weather was unpredictable based upon 5-day forecast Impromptu transportation was devised
GROUP FLOW
All members participating in the clinic, the athletes, the kids, the directors and organizers, bought into the objective behind the clinics and fully engaged
Blending egos Constant communication through e-
mail or in person Equal participation
