THE EFFECTS OF REPEAT COLLABORATION ON CREATIVE ABRASION.

Paul F. Skilton; Kevin Dooley

Arizona State University

Building on research that suggests a negative relationship between repeat collaboration and team creativity, we propose that team mental models developed in earlier projects are likely to interfere with the processes that constitute creative abrasion: idea generation, disclosure/advocacy, and convergence. Suppression of these processes leads to less creative outcomes. We conclude by proposing that these negative effects can be mitigated by process and project charter interventions and by outsider entry into the project team.
