DEVELOPING VISUAL COLLABORATIVE TOOLS Minitrack (Track:
Collaboration Systems and technologies)
Visual collaborative tools have recently emerged and gained
popularity to innovate and/or address problems collaboratively
within teams. By providing a shared language and/or a shared
visualization, they support several challenges of collaboration
related to sense-making and sense-giving and action planning in
multi or transfunctional teams. One of the goals of these tools is
to assist teams to explore and/or brainstorm on a given problem.
This is especially useful in processes which need to generate new
options and alternatives through design. These tools allow for
better structuring and bounding of a problem and facilitate
solution searches in innovative ways during collaboration.
Prominent examples of visual inquiry tools are the Business Model
Canvas and the Value Proposition Canvas which were surprisingly
well adapted worldwide.
This minitrack focuses on the design and development challenges,
related theoretical explanations and justifications, and empirical
evidence of using such tools. We also invite works that develop
evaluation frameworks, or conduct empirical assessments of the
effects of using these tools. We also encourage submissions that
report the design processes of such tools and/or their conceptual
modelling, as well as, their ontological and/or cognitive
foundations.
Specifically, this minitrack invites submissions on, but are not
limited to, the following topics:
* Design / Development process of visual tools
* Design principles of this/these tool/s
* Conceptual modelling
* Modelling methods, ontological modelling of methods that
underlie the tools
* Conceptual foundations of visual cognition and related sense
making
* How to design such tool(s) for shared visualization
* Explanations how visual tool/s can support innovation in teams
* In what way/s these artefacts can facilitate cross-boundary
collaboration
* The role of visual tool/s in promoting the use of design
thinking (and vice versa)
* The role of IS research and design theories in designing such
tool/s for managerial/strategic purposes and practice in general
* How the models of these tools can be transformed into
computer-aided design options downstream
* Implications of such tools for design practice and theory
