A method is provided of allocating value between participants in a collaborative process based on their respective contributions to a collaboration deliverable (30). The collaborative process is, for example, the structured brainstorming of a new business concept. The method involves establishing three roles, namely that of participant (21) for contributing to the collaboration deliverable, collaborative process navigator (22), and third-party evaluator (23). These three roles arc in a triangular relationship of trust that is acknowledged by the parties filling the roles prior to commencement of the collaborative process. During the collaborative process, the navigator (22) assists the participants (21) through the collaborative process and in identifying contribution elements of value. When called upon, the third-party evaluator (23) assists in valuations of the relative values of the identified contribution elements to the collaboration deliverable (30), the evaluator settling any disputed element valuation. |
