georgegerharz Is collaborative a noun or an adjective?
It seems that your major definition is for a noun and your major sentences for an adjective. May 23, 2009
georgegerharz It seems to me that people often confuse collaboration (a process)with a collaborative (group of people) They are collaborating but not really a group.
Also, it seems to me that the common goal/result in practices often gets lost.

georgegerharz A collaborative is a body of people working together to get results. Implied is that a result cannot be achieved or can better or more eaisly achieved achieved. Implied is that those in the collaborative have reached an agreement on a common result.
