Book excerpt: PENNDOT embarked on the Roadside Beautification Collaboratory that would further refine and define the agile collaboratory process. By forming cohesive, interdependent teams to focus on improving a process that would have a positive, statewide impact - and then utilize secure technology to share and disseminate information throughout the organization - PENNDOT and its employees could improve functionality while better serving the motoring public. Four primary objectives were undertaken: 1. To document the refined Agile Collaboratory Methodology in a simple, easy-to-understand guidebook that could be utilized statewide inside or outside of the organization. 2. To document, in manual form, the new and improved process for Roadside Beautification that could be used by District Roadside Specialists statewide. 3. To utilize current web-based technology to provide all collaboratory participants secure access to an online resource that would serve as a communications port, document repository and also serve as an ongoing after-action-review (A.A.R). 4. To use input from all collaboratory teams to develop a marketing communications plan that aligned with existing statewide mandates, built program awareness, generated the submission of applications, and resulted in the planting and maintenance of the garden plots. It was found that, if statewide implementation is a primary goal, then collaboration that focuses on a process that can work across all districts is a desirable and necessary outcome. By creating a collaboratory process that effectively cuts across organizational and institutional boundaries, new ideas were shared and an improved process for roadside beautification was the result. It was determined that by involving individuals and groups outside of the organization, i.e. community leaders, gardening club members, motoring public, etc., a more realistic picture of the needs and concerns of Pennsylvania citizens could be painted.
