COIN? #CoP


Gian Jagai
 

I recently came across this: http://www.swarmcreativity.net/

I was curious if anyone here has had any experience with COINs.

Peter Gloor defines COINs as "a cyberteam of self-motivated people
with a collective vision, enabled by the Web to collaborate in
achieving a common goal by sharing ideas, information, and work."

Interesting idea. Will read the article link. Makes me wonder what
sort of web-enabling they are envisioning for this. I've just started
playing around with twitter. ( twitter.com ). Was invented by the
same guy who invented blogs at google. At first it doesn't seem like
much of an app, but in terms of supporting free wheeling idea
generation and fostering group cohesion on a virtual team, it strikes
me as having great potential.

Yes, Twitter has potential that was overshadowed by many initial users spamming all of their friends with useless information [i.e. I'm driving to work now] -- they did it because they could.

It turns out that Twitter was VERY useful during the Calif fires a few months back and anytime a distributed group needs to coordinate/ collaborate/etc. It's like stopping by your cubicle, even if I am 3000 miles away. Just keep the nuisance messages down...

We use twitter in our distributed team of 6 to keep the sense of being connected. It gives us the feeling of people in a room together when we are not. Consequently, we encourage some of the banal banter (but not too much). It's what you would hear in an office environment: footy team wins, just baked some muffins, long ride on the bike on the weekend, kids are running wild in the house. 

Cheers

Shawn

I’m teaching a class as part of a KM Master’s program at Cal State Northridge.  One of the things I’ve thought about is using Twitter to “track” what a CKO or other person doing KM type work does all day so that we could give the students an idea of what a typical day-week-month might look like.  Has anyone tried anything like this?

I've talked with Peter Gloor several times. By his definition, SIKMLEADERS and the other KM interest lists that we participate in are a COIN. The software Peter developed, initially when he was at DeLoitte, mine social network links from existing data like emails and presumably other social networking software. Peter's research looked at how different types of emergent communities were structured. Some of the earlier visualizations can be seen here: http://www.ickn.org/JoSS_subm/TeCFlow4JoSS.htm (click for the QuickTim movies).
 
An application inside a large corporation would be to detect the emergence of communities of interest around new ideas, for example to see who is "swarming" around new stuff and possibly connect people who are not yet connected. Similarly, on the public internet, it would be possible to see groups emerging.

I guess my question is along the lines of, Is a COIN the same as a
Community of Practice or is one a subset of the other?

Gian,
Based on my experience, I would consider a COIN the same as a CoP.  Most of the CoPs I have worked with are almost completely virtual which seems to be the main difference in the definitions.  The social mining tool sounds very interesting, and is an area I would see most  CoPs moving toward in the future.
 
Regarding the naming of these collaborative groups, at NCR-Teradata, multiple names were used, such as Community of Interest and Community of Experts or Center of Expertise.  All were essentially CoPs (except in some cases a Center of Expertise could be an organizational structure) which did create a good deal of confusion.  So standardizing on what your company wants to call such groups is important, and having a job aid/tool kit to help them get set up and running is also helpful (Teradata has a CoP Framework which includes checklists for CoP Leads to work through when creating and running CoPs).
 
Hope this helps.
Linda
