Abstract

The undermining of this era is the emergency. On the one hand, it is immediately interrelated with the impact of human activities as well as directly or reciprocally with scientific discoveries. While, on the other, it opens up new perspectives, consistent with the different hypotheses of socio-economic commitment. The discontinuity of the occurrence of events introduces a new concept of time: the difference between the untimeliness of lived time reflects the conception of linear time, while timeliness, produces singular events that determine significant discontinuities in linear dynamics, creating a concentration and connotation of absolute time. In short: an emergency. This phenomenon produces widespread attention to all activities, prefiguring a basis to be rebuilt, based on the responsibility and solidarity of the individual that tries to recover a globally collective sense. Remote cooperation cancels space and establishes the ordinariness of time that itself becomes an event, whose singularity lies in the approach to collaboration aimed at developing collaborative methods to cope with global emergencies. The identifying figure of the global does not end in the encounter, but rather reacts in a creative-productive way and through technical collaboration plays the role of forerunner for other organizational and production systems. A model for the production of goods and services that, in addition to responding immediately to emergencies, forces us to rethink the absence of coordination and adherence to the principles of circular economy as well as the resilience of the systems. The change of pace requires considering the nature and application of innovation, the ability to integrate humanistic knowledge into technology that introduces, in the man-machine relationship, the collaboration that flows into the collaborative industry. There is no real dependence on technology: we discover, in times of emergency, a renewed collaboration between man and machines; the man-machine-relationship today finds in the machine the necessary comfort to face the unpredictable.
