Great post, Harold. The distinction between collaboration and co-operation has been troubling me since I read http://cloudhead.headmine.net/post/3279118157/cooperation-vs-collaboration and http://stoweboyd.com/post/7579789028/the-meaning-of-work-connectives-and-swift-trust.

I'm now revising my beliefs :-) Some of what I've been calling 'collaboration' for several years is 'co-operation'. Probably.

A question: do you think people can be good at both?
