Does Business Collaboration Work? Monday Blog Post Round-Up
Posted by Dana Larson on May 03, 2010
Last week, there was some blog chatter about the benefits of small business and enterprise collaboration solutions, and whether or not they can be effective in today’s business world. Now, I am of the opinion that they can be, but there is a lot to be said about the implementation of such solutions to make them useful.
(Ahem - Stay tuned for a blog post from me about that subject.)
Here are some posts speaking to the effectiveness of business collaboration solutions.
Now It Is The Collaborative Enterprise - Starting off by discussing the position that collaborative features reduce business cost and improve customer satisfaction, this post goes on to discuss the downside of collaboration, in that it can cause some hurdles for security, efficiency and business processes. The solution is to find and adapt to the right product for your business so increase the effect of collaboration.
Why Collaboration Doesn’t Work - This post not only identifies the issues faced in today’s enterprise when there is no clear collaboration solution, but it also discusses the ways to impact and adapt to the collaborative environment to increase business success.
Collaboration for Sustainability 2 - From this post, with collaboration and the awareness it brings comes critical adaptive capacity. Because of that, the author argues that collaboration and improved communication processes can create a more sustainable culture in any business.
Collaboration Within Project Management Increases Business Effectiveness - The second installment of this series, I discuss how to improve collaboration within your business by keeping it in the same place as your work management system. By adapting to better processes for both work management and team collaboration, work is accomplished more efficiently and effectively.
When you find the right solution and take the necessary actions to implement that solution correctly, collaboration can be the key to drive your business toward greater success.
What are your thoughts on that? And what other posts have been published recently that you feel share your views on business collaboration?
