Q: What if collaboration is not valued?
• Try to understand scopes and types of collaboration you are promoting– If individual motivation is missing, it won’t fly
• Individual motivations and preferences– Focus on early and easy adopters, don’t force on others
• Try to get costs and what ever you expect in return right
• Be prepared, not everyone sees value in collaboration– If you are not able to show the value, easier it is to neglect
