A complex web of relationships with funding agencies, private and public partners, and researchers is being managed using a purpose-built web-based platform (the GRAND Forum) that supports communication and collaboration across communities. The Forum explicitly represents multiple roles of individuals within the organization through formal and informal user-centred workflows that reflect both symmetric (peer-to-peer) and asymmetric (hierarchical) organizational structures. We describe the principles of each. %G English %Z TC 13 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01597013/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01597013/file/978-3-642-23768-3_113_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01597013 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01597013 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC13 %~ IFIP-INTERACT %~ IFIP-LNCS-6949
