The meeting is ready to start but someone on the audio bridge can’t hear what’s going on, the video system isn’t working, and someone is struggling to get their PowerPoint presentation up on the screen.

There’s too much to do and not enough time to do it to squander people’s time in frustrating, fruitless meetings gone bad.

Collaboration among workers is always a key to an organization’s success...

However, during a crisis like the one we are currently living through, collaborating effectively can be a key differentiator from your competition.

A study published in the Harvard Business Review (HBR) collected ten years of data to study the link between collaboration and financial performance across dozens of professional service firms, financial institutions, and health care organizations, starting from the 2007-2008 financial crisis. The results showed that organizations with the most highly collaborative workers grew their business during the crisis. The business of the middle group declined slightly, and the least collaborative companies suffered lost revenue which still hadn’t been recovered five years after the recession ended.[1]
