Carlos – we’re only just slowly getting into cross-organizational stuff, and as I mention above, I think there are some huge challenges around building up folks’ collaboration skills in larger networks. Getting noise out of email is indeed a huge challenge.

Marty – as I have been fond of saying for years, “Technology is no substitute for beer.” Effective collaboration is definitely more about offline behavior as it is about online tools.

It seems like every coalition campaign just generates yet another email list.</p> It’ll be very interesting to hear more, especially if you’ve carried any practices over to cross-organization collaboration or vice versa.

As far as tricks, webcams were a big win here. (We are currently playing with Ivisist.com to support 5 way webcam conference).

However, endless searching for the perfect tool or process feels often like professional procrastination. It is more of a time suck and not really an “answer”. I find that when I get “stuck” I need to get on the road meet the leaders in the movement our organization supports and get inspired by our mission and work.

There is no magic trick. Motivation, leadership, strong work ethic and personal drive produce more output wins than any incremental tinkering. Getting Things Done requires more getting your ass to work.

Do it on pencil The stronger we hone those the more adaptable and nimble our teams will in adapting technology.

I too will be intrigue to read more about your discoveries. It sounds like you are using many of the same tools we are using here at CERF. One frustration of mine has been resistant (albeit subtle) to get out of email to communicate.

I hope all is well in Seattle.
