I came across this blog post this morning, and I wanted to make sure I shared it with our readers as well. Tony Wilson wrote about why collaboration works in business teams. However, he didn't just talk about the improved business results - he talked about the biological reactions caused by collaborative environments and how they increase trust and productivity.
I hope you enjoy this article as much as I did!

With all the chatter about business collaboration processes and solutions lately, it’s no wonder that additional questions arise. Why should I use collaboration processes in my business? How does it help? What solution will be best for my business?
And along with all these questions is one over-arching question that needs to be answered: How does collaboration impact my business? You need to understand this - whether it be the positive impact or the negative impact - before engaging too heavily in a collaboration solution.
Last week there were a few great articles published addressing this very question. Here are links to a few of them, but feel free to share your favorites with us as well!
