Welcome to the Diversity Council Collaboration Center

Virtual teaming to expand capacities that leverage diversity to build a connected community

Guided by the IT Taskforce of the DC Board of Directors, this website demonstrates how technology can help the adoption of Policy Governance® Model to facilitate collaboration in order to create an inclusive, prosperous community that celebrates and leverages the talents and insights of all our diverse stakeholders.   

This website (aka DCCC) supplements the official Diversity Council website in a number of ways:

1. It gives the Diversity Council Board of Directors a virtual teamroom to share and track meeting agendas/minutes, policy work items and thoughts. 
   
2. It allows DC stakeholders to collaborate in real-time on the web (instead of just sending emails back and forth). Think of it as having the possibility of online forums, discussions, blogs, etc.
3. It allows us to manage knowledge that our DC stakeholders produce and harvest its potential to serve diversity.
4. It provides more details and communication for DC's centerpiece programs. 
   
5. It prototypes DCCC as an IT collaboration hub and platform to help nascent inclusive organizations to have a web presence and to leverage social networking technologies to better team.   

Diversity Council Collaboration Center (DCCC) Vision

Knowledge sharing, management and integration is essential to organization growth and outreach.  Wikipedia is a an example of the amazing use of technologies to engender cooperation based on the philosophy of neutral point of view.  It's a great model for any openness group.

There is also a trend in open classes being piloted by MIT, Rice and Standford in driving knowledge transfer to the public by academicians  in teaching modules which are easier to create, reuse and consume.

This DC workspace is being piloted in that spirit of openness, sharing and collaboration.
