Collaboration, Communication, and the Tech that Fuels Both

Collaboration, Communication, and the Tech that Fuels Both

Collaboration is at the heart of any effective business. Most organizations today are trying to make the most of their limited resources, and one of the ways to do this is with a solid collaboration strategy. Here’s how you can do the same to avoid siloing tasks and squandering your workforce’s potential.

Collaboration in Business

In business, it’s easy to confuse collaboration and communication as the same thing.

The truth is that they are very different things. Collaboration involves more direct work between parties toward a shared goal. On the other hand, communication is the channel through which teamwork flows.

Technology gives businesses the ability to improve collaboration at all levels:

  • Simple collaboration - This type involves real-time communications like instant messaging that provide quick results. Although it can often lead to distractions, it promotes a fast and easy exchange of ideas, which leads to more effective project completion.
  • Data collaboration - This collaboration goes beyond simple communication and gives multiple workers the ability to contribute at the same time. This might look like working in the same document in real-time. This type of collaboration has flourished in a world where remote and hybrid work is accepted.
  • Structured collaboration - With this level of collaboration, you have structured meetings where the physical or live virtual interaction between attendees is necessary. Whether the meeting is effective or not usually depends on the agenda (if one exists) and how much the attendees’ input is considered.

The Importance of Collaboration

You can supercharge your business with the right collaborative approach.

More often than not, more opinions and feedback mean more opportunities to do good. When your employees are trained appropriately, collaboration technology helps facilitate just that. With cloud-based tools and streamlined processes, you will be amazed at your team's accomplishments.
