First, LLD needs to set a clear direction for the organization. The aspirations of LLD and the processes of research, like "working experimentally", must be explained clearly. Then, it is necessary to support collaboration among specialised researchers and functional managers but also among the different consortia. The different consortia must share their resources and findings and not feel that they are competing the ones against the others. To strengthen the unity of LLD through the feeling that all employees and managers belong to a same community, it is important to create a strong organizational culture. This culture must rely on shared values and aspirations, value excellence and encourage experimentation and curiosity. Given the high quality of LLD' s employees and the mission of the institution, it is crucial to enable creativity and encourage risk-taking.

HanleyBrown et al.’s (2012) also assert that data must be collected and evaluated consistently with all contributors with each person holding each other accountable so that all efforts stay in line. HanleyBrown et al.’s (2012) maintain also that contributor actions need to be distinguished while still engaging and enforcing the plan of action. With these concepts in mind it goes without saying that reliable and robust communication must be maintained from all contributors in order to build trust, increase motivation and guarantee that goals are met. HanleyBrown et al.’s (2012) finally surmise that an independent organization(s) must be utilized in order to ensure that coordination of activities and support of all endeavors stay on track and are met.

This is demonstrated by Jack, who goes directly to R&D department for new projects without considering any discussion with other departments. Therefore, other departments do not functioning at their optimal level hence, it affects the organization effectiveness. Besides that, it is clear that Innostat employees only working within their own departments, and prefer to work on their achievements, hence prove that there is no common goal among them. Apart from that, Jack’s opinion on “Good ideas don’t need incentives, they need passion” (Beer, 2006) is one of the factors that affect the individual and organizational performance. Jack as a leader does not put much attention on the rewards, hence it
Pinto (2009) identified several factors that influenced collaboration in different domains. These factors included: expertise, need to improve services, resolving social issues, and cultural and social disconnect; the domains included researchers’ characteristics, and community partner-researcher relationships (Pinto, 2009).
