My personal notes for Collaboration and Constraints
A talk by Alexis Kaushansky I attended at TEDxSeattle
If we try to throw ourselves open to any information, where do we start? One of the great aspects of real-world problems is they create constraints. These constraints force us to look broadly for solutions.
By stepping outside of our usual problem area and collaborating with experts in other areas, we can discover new approaches that previously alluded us.
When I did this work along, I typically only asked questions where I could already see a clear path to the answer.
