In  today’s  fast‐paced,  demanding  workplace,  who  has  time  to  collaborate  with  team  members?    You  do,  and  here’s  why.   Making  time  to  collaborate  with  your  team  can  enhance  productivity,  drive  up  employee  morale,  solve  complex  team  challenges  and achieve remarkable short and long‐term goals.    The process of collaboration can be both frustrating and exhilarating: frustrating because it can take a lot of time and energy to get to a final result, and exhilarating because the result can be so much better than one brain can imagine!

Some projects lend themselves well to collaborative efforts: 

When problems are complex and you need diverse input and skills to solve them 

When you want to get “buy‐in” from all stakeholders for changes ahead 

When needed resources or connections are not known, someone on your team  will have just the right connection 

When you want to create an environment of coming together, healing a rift,  or moving a community to the next level of engagement 

Keys to Collaboration

Effective collaboration requires: 

A culture ‐ from top management down ‐ that encourages teamwork, cooperation and collaboration

Defined team member responsibility within the collaborative project 

Specific short and long‐term goals
