Email Is Not Collaboration - Monday Blog Post Round-Up

Posted by Dana Larson on June 14, 2010

Let me just say first of all, we are loving that Summer is right around the corner. That said, the sun is shining on a lot more collaboration areas lately, and are keeping us pretty busy with keeping up with these fantastic authors, analysts and bloggers!

So when it comes to team collaboration, what solutions do you use in your business? Are you already using a an online collaboration solution like OnePlace? Or still in the past using email to “collaborate” with your team? Somewhere in between? That’s what this week’s posts have been about - the wide spectrum of ways you can collaborate with your team.

How’s Your Collaboration Effort Going? - This is a short post from All Collaboration, but the graphic is incredibly important for measuring the impact of your collaboration efforts in your business. If you aren’t feeling 100% about the way collaboration is going in your business, walk through this chart and indicate where the four P’s are falling off. Now you know what to focus on to get your collaboration back on track.

Going Back to (Collaboration) Basics - The basics of collaboration is successful organization. This post from Talent Culture shares tips for organizing your collaboration efforts, but also shares a tip for using email to collaborate better. Unfortunately, we know that email is a poor form of collaboration. Use the organization tips from this post, but find a different solution for collaboration other than email.

4 Tips for Improving Client Collaboration - Strikingly similar to our post on increasing client collaboration, the Agilewords Blog post shares different ways to make client collaboration more effective. Rather than using email, they say, use online file repositories as to not clog email inboxes, and utilize an online collaboration tool for structured communication and collaboration.

Reasons You May Find Collaboration Challenging - This is a post from us on E2.0 Pros, and states that one of the greatest challenges to moving forward with collaboration is that the business doesn’t know what tools to use and which are best. All you have to do is a little research, and you’ll find the right tool for your enterprise.

Once you’ve got the right people and the right tools figured out, your collaboration will skyrocket. You’ll see increased organization, communication, work management and higher quality work because of the successful implementation of your new team collaboration processes.
