Collaboration – it's all the
rage, and to some it is "new." Yet for any project, whether it is assembling a
sales proposal in response to a Request For Proposals (RFP), to the
collaboration and coordination necessary to build an aircraft carrier, or any
size or style of collaboration in between, there are several questions to
consider when it comes to modern day collaboration, what many are calling
Enterprise 2.0, or for those with a longer history in business collaboration,
Knowledge Management 2.0.
Do you believe that your
organization has pulled together a suitably versatile and agile collaboration
toolkit?
Are your collaboration tools
built for distributed teams, or for localized teams?
Are the tools involved
well-integrated into the flow of collaborative work (search, research, document,
refine, revise, publish, re-use, etc.), or do you as a user of the toolkit have
to remember what tool or application to use at various stages within the context
of collaboration?
While management may say that "we
need more collaboration," are you measured based on collaborative contributions,
or in the end are you actually penalized for team contributions if it gets in
the way of your individual work and personal performance measures?
Join us for a discussion on the
current and future state of collaboration – and what it takes to ensure that
your culture, skills, and technical tools are up to the task of real-time,
flexible online collaboration. Not all collaboration efforts or outcomes are the
same – make sure you are setting yourself up to succeed.
