Key takeaway from the paper
> Instead of supporting more transparency, the results imply that technologies and organizations should be redesigned to intermittently isolate people from each other’s work for best collective performance in solving complex problems.
In addition, Jesse C. Shore, the author posted a Twitter thread summary about this research [0, 1].
> when people interact intermittently (as opposed to constantly or not at all as in previous work), they explore on their own AND learn from each other.

- nerdponx 8y agoredesigned to intermittently isolate people from each other’s work Why does the organization need to be redesigned? How about we just stop trying to micro-engineer interactions, give knowledge private, quiet work space, and let them do their thing. This is what most knowledge workers do that I've seen, when left to their own devices: first they put their head down and try to work on a problem, come up with some promising solutions and/or find some sticking points, talk it over with colleagues, then go back to work on it solo some more. Repeat until convergence or deadline arrives.
