How can interdisciplinary collaboration identify new opportunities for growth?

We need an interdisciplinary approach to uncover the different dimensions of a given situation. As other colleagues have mentioned, it stimulates other points of view therefore, it can only be enriching (even if in some cases, it may be possibly confusing at first, once clear, it is enriching).

Interdisciplinary collaboration is a great opportunity for learning and improving soft skills. From my experience, it's an exciting way to broaden your view; observe different angles from your view point, interrogate at length and generally improve on your problem solving skills.

Again, it is a question linked to innovation - how to fosters development of new ideas. It exposes individuals to different criteria, methods, helping them develop a common language. It is essential to identify & articulate the problem/opportunity that requires collaboration, & to recruit diverse partners who share at least a common vision/interest. It is needed to establish clear roles, responsibilities, and expectations for each team member. I think it is difficult to have interdisciplinary collaboration as some persons always want to take the leads on others or do not have intention to listen to ideas of others. If you want this to work, a correct attitude between team members, with respect and faculty to listen the others, is essential.

A big challenge for interdisciplinary collaboration is conflict that may arise due to disagreements about how to conduct a particular project or getting an expert from a different discipline on-board with your project. For instance, a researcher primarily within a quantitative subject area may have a differing idea on how to conduct a methodology than a researcher who is primarily within a qualitative subject area. The key here is to have a clear research design where the expertise of both parties are included. When you hire an expert onto a project, be sure you know where their skills will be best utilised and how their particular discipline will help drive the project forward.

Time is the biggest challenge. Or better said: the scarcity of it. In an interdisciplinary team, people that excel in their discipline(s) are key and these are also the people that tend to be very busy. To free experts for an interdisciplinary team asks for preliminary arrangements, way before the team is formed. So: Make a pool of experts for possible ID teams and make sure that when they're called upon, their current team(s) know how to cope with their absence.

El mayor desafío, es usar todo lo que no se tiene en común con el equipo, crecer con ello , tolerarlo y respetarlo. Así que se torne a tu favor

Tolerar y respetar, la tolerancia implica permitir la existencia de diferencias sin necesariamente apoyarlas, el respeto implica reconocer y valorar esas diferencias, tratando a los demás con dignidad y consideración. Son pilares para el éxito de la colaboración interdisciplinaria

Respect and freedom of free will could be two important things that could make the problems arising with the interaction of the team bearable. Also, to have clear what is your role and impact in the processes you’re in charge.

La communication efectiva, la escucha activa son fundamentales además evitar los prejuicios y siempre estar dispuesto a solucionar los problemas, con esas bases se logra superar esas areas de oportunidad

La búsqueda de un lenguaje común entre las disciplinas debe ser transversal. Identificar preguntas u objetivos generales que abarquen a todos, para luego definir sub-búsquedas que puedan tener su centro en disciplinas específicas. Generar espacios para comunicar las metodologías que cada disciplina involucrada puede abarcar. Que toda acción/investigación dirigida desde un área particular del equipo tenga una vía definida para ser comunicada al equipo completo. Son posibles lineamientos para centar las bases de una metodología de lo interdisciplinario, que se adecúe a cada caso.

En el area TI es fundamental que el equipo multidisciplinario adopte una conducta de trabajo en equipo es más , ir más haya y que sea trabajo cohesionado, así lograr los desafíos de manera ágil y eficiente

An example, that also presents an issue, comes from a study I made a couple of years ago, interviewing students that were in more than one study at the same time. There was a student of Philosophy and Laws. He said: "Philosophy is of great relevance to Laws, but not the other way around". There are certain paths of knowledge, doing and interconnection that must be taken into account.

El hacer match con un equipo es una ayuda valiosa, y por cierto que ayuda bastante , pero lo principal es saber desenvolverse en cualquier cultura de trabajo , también es evidente que ayuda que se asemeje a tu cultura, pero lo fundamental es saber adaptarse a cualquier equipo

Complex Problem Solving: Muchos desafíos actuales son multifacéticos y requieren un enfoque integral. La colaboración interdisciplinaria permite abordar estos problemas desde diferentes ángulos, creando soluciones más efectivas y holísticas. Fomento de la innovación: La combinación de conocimientos y métodos de diferentes disciplinas puede generar innovaciones y avances tecnológicos, abriendo nuevas áreas de investigación y desarrollo. Identificación de nuevos mercados y necesidades: al combinar conocimientos de diferentes campos, se pueden identificar nuevas necesidades del mercado y oportunidades de negocio que no serían evidentes para un solo campo de estudio.
