Abstract
Heterogeneity in work groups creates challenges to build a shared understanding among diverse group members and to integrate knowledge of different actors successfully. In an action Research study with experience diverse tool and dye-makers at a German car manufacturing company, we developed a collaboration process design to systematically support heterogeneous groups in building a shared understanding of the sequence of activities in complex work processes. Participants showed the intended team learning behaviors and an increase in shared understanding.
