Perceptual arena

From AMI@Work Communities Wiki

Perceptual arena or "PerCeptUal Arena" is a new concept built with 3 existing concepts Person-conCept-visUal. It combines 3 dimensions as well, namely: social, conceptual and visual dimensions. This new concept represents an approach to better support group of people to reach conciousness of something (new concepts) in a much faster way. This PerCeptUal Arena could be viewed as a Virtual Space where new concepts are emerging in a way that it will stimulate people creativity (inter-personal creativity).

The starting point, based on literature review, could be the Johari window model from which a community based collaborative window can be derived where the inter-personal communication arena leads towards either incremental or disruptive innovation areas. Then the focus is on the disruptive innovation area that could be nicely located entirely or partially into the PerCeptUal Arena.

Within the inter-personal communication arena, group of people are sharing their knowledge (concepts they know) and confront their ideas and therefore doing this (social interaction) they are creating new knowledge that will lead most probably into new concepts if they are successful to reach conciousness of emerging concepts.
