Hi Andrew. I agree. I see collaboration as work on a common objective, usually from outside the individual, such as the boss or client. Cooperation is when the individual buys-in to sharing and helping out. I think we need to connect cooperation with collaboration to do creative work. That's a challenge is many workplaces that insist people focus on their own work, or say things like 'that's above your pay grade'.

Is cooperation an effect of effective coordination? I'm not sure, but better coordination can make it easier to cooperate. Just like YouTube has made it easier to share videos.
