Posted by Dana Larson on April 26, 2010
With the increased popularity of social media tools, and the State of Collaboration report released recently, the topic of team collaboration has been a hot one. More and more businesses are feeling the need for this type of business collaboration solution to increase communication between team members.
The blogosphere has been chattering about team collaboration recently. Here are some recent blog posts to bring you up to speed on team collaboration.
Breaking Corporate Rules To Collaborate - The Culture of Collaboration discusses the gap between utilizing social media tools and other new collaboration solutions even when corporations ban the use of those social sites within their company. Businesses need to overlook the fun social aspect of sties like Twitter and realize the benefit increased communication and collaboration can have on a business.
Keep It Simple On The Collaboration Tools - Taking results from the State of Collaboration report, All Collaboration discusses how complex collaboration is increasing in importance in today’s businesses, how collaboration processes should follow the basic project management organization processes and how business people want their collaboration tools simple and easy to use to facilitate better communication.
Bridging The Gap Between Email And Social Collaboration - Referencing the new Harris Poll, businesses feel that corporate email practices need to evolve. They also found that social collaboration tools are on the rise in the workplace to enhance collaboration, even though 91% of respondents still use email as the main form of communication. Here you can find suggestions for how to bridge this gap to move businesses into a better practice of collaboration.
Creating Collaboration Takes More Than Technology - Even with the high availability of social tools to enhance collaboration, such as wikis, web conferencing and chat, businesses need to adopt a culture of increased collaboration within the company. The corporate culture needs to evolve to accept collaboration before any tools will be able to help increase collaboration.
When businesses accept the new wave of business collaboration solutions, the communication between teammates will increase and teams will feel more connected. Better team collaboration will be the new process to increase business success.

Dana,
Thank you for this wonderful post, highlights on-topic resources on collaboration in a timely manner. Of course, I am a bit biased this time because you have included our study on the State of Collaboration.
