Solving problems together is powerful. By bringing groups of people together to collaborate on solutions, new ideas are generated and new resources become available. But there are challenges.
What if you have differing agendas?
What if your schedules don't match?
What if you have different values?
When solving problems together start by agreeing on a set of guidelines for how you will interact.
The guidelines will be particular to your project. They may be unique to your group. They may take longer than you expected to reach agreement on. They will be invaluable to your problem solving success.
