What is the Collaboratory? An online Dachis Group presence that is part collaboration space and part laboratory on Social Business Design. This web presence is where Dachis Group invites its constituent ecosystem to engage as a starting point to capture value through Social Business Design.
Dachis Group believes that the future of business lies in the intentional creation of dynamic and socially calibrated business systems, process, and culture that empower all constituents to exchange value. Initiatives like the Collaboratory illustrate how the company operates by the same principles on which it advises clients.
Through Dachis Group's Collaboratory the company is exploring thought leadership, tools and technology, best practices, and case studies to create an ongoing, living dialog repository for Social Business Design. These assets are applied through Dachis Group's practice areas: customer participation, workforce collaboration, and business partner optimization.
"We have designed the Collaboratory to demonstrate the principles of Social Business Design. It's important for us to share our thinking not only by talking, but by showing, doing, and being a dynamic socially calibrated organization," said Jeffrey Dachis, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Dachis Group. "We are giving the world a window into our work, via the live work stream on the Collaboratory's home page. While a humble beginning, we will be rolling out additional new features and functionality over time to further demonstrate Social Business Design and enable us all to engage, participate, define, and create."
"The Collaboratory is one part of our efforts as a social business. The direction it takes from here will surely be a journey, controlled in part by the people that choose to participate," said Bryan Menell, Collaboratory Director.
"Bryan Menell will be responsible for the Collaboratory's content curation as well as its technology roadmap and development," said Jeffrey Dachis. "His intellect, entrepreneurial startup mindset, technical capabilities, relationships and experience across a variety of disciplines will give the Collaboratory the focus and direction needed to create a living resource for Social Business Design," added Dachis.
