• Differentiated roles, specialized knowledge
• Task interdependence • Dynamic workflows adapting to context • Interplay of tacit and explicit knowledge
IPD (‘Derek’) & IDR (‘Deana’)
(Cook and Brown 1999; Klein et al.2010; Kostoff 2002)

‘Innovation’ = ‘research approach’ (IDR) or ‘useful, unforeseen solution’ (IPD)
Interdisciplinary innovation

NSF Study (Rhoten 2004) “...loosely connected individuals searching for intersections, as opposed to cohesive groups tackling well-defined problems.”

Synthesis is hard

Difficulty of innovation/synthesis...
Difficulty of generating & integrating team shared mental model

Can these help each other?

“Cross-disciplinary capital” • = number, quality of conceptual connections
• Performance = 𝒇 (capital)
• Agile frameworks: steps/interventionsPennington model: when/why to use

“Two things are known about requirements. 1. They will change. 2. They will be misunderstood.”
~ Michael Jackson, keynote to 1994 Int’l Conference on Requirements Engineering

•Shows promise: “They are using the framework correctly, but we need to up their team capital.”
•Needs validation
Conclusions
www.kumido.com (C) 2009-2011
• Continue to refine synthesis of theoretical model ＋ Agile frameworks
• Seeking ways to instrument teams
• “Citizen science:” get teams to self-instrument
