Development of the discussions followed Strober’s pattern of interdisciplinarity. Trust is a prerequisite for productive conversations (Strober 2010), but this accentuated the facilitator’s role in two ways. Firstly, the facilitator acts as a guarantor of equality between participants, regardless of their background. Trust in this fairness precedes trust between participants. Secondly, in order to avoid development of restraining factions, the facilitator must be able to pay attention to the complex feelings of participants. The SECI socialization phase stresses a similar focus on empathy. In COHU, reoccurring confusion was created by co-facilitators unclear roles. This led to inconsistencies in their reactions in discussions as they revealed lack of understanding for different speech community rules by demanding styles closer to their own. The main facilitator’s skill in mediating such situations, however, helped restore and strengthen trust in the process and highlighted the importance of facilitation.

Regarding the goals for cooperation with researchers, companies emphasized the role of scientific knowledge challenging their usual thinking frames: companies were not after “quick-fixes” to concrete problems. They sought partnerships with researchers to find solution paths to wicked problems, not everyday problems.If we need solutions to everyday problems, we turn to consultancy companies. Companies don’t want to steer universities to become consultancies. We want cooperation based on researchers’ research work. All we want is to work with researchers on what they’re already doing. It’s what they know. (Company, C2)
