Working Near Each Other Isn’t Collaborating.
Collaboration is a team working the same item together. Most “collaborative” teams are dividing tasks and reporting back — which is coordination, and it doesn’t produce the same results.
Collaboration Is a Practice, Not a Seating Plan.
Open-plan offices and a chat tool don’t make a team collaborative. Neither does telling people to communicate more.
Three modules on the mechanics:
- Communication that fits how each person actually takes information in
- Swarming — the whole team on one item, and when it’s worth it
- Workspaces, physical and virtual, designed for shared work
- Psychological safety, without which none of the above happens
Seven assessments and guides, including a communication audit you can run this week.
