Summary: | Just four words: BA, MA, WA, KATA. Four Japanese words chosen for their power to defamiliarize – to invite us to reconsider what we thought of as known ground in a different way. The ground is problem exploration and innovation in small groups – now, of course, with Covid-19, taking place online, an environment with its own affordances and limitations. The four words – which revolve around experiencing space, rhythm, harmony, and form – lead us to forgo ordinary vocabulary about methodology and explore poetic language instead. This brings us afresh to such questions as: What is the actual nature of courageous collaboration? Where will we find the wellspring of co-created co-owned futures? How do we get there using virtual technologies? And what must we have in order to succeed? |
