5. What is the current state
of enterprise collaboration?

8. #MeasureCollabSuccess

9. #MeasureCollabSuccess
The goal of this community initiative is to understand how organizations
define, measure, and implement successful collaboration strategies.
We have divided our efforts into three areas:
 How do organizations define success?
 How do organizations measure success?
 How do organizations effectively implement these strategies?

11. If you haven’t defined the
end result, how do you know
when you’ve reached it?

12. “A nice to have, with little
visible understanding of
how collaboration is
information flow, which
helps the bottom line.”
“They know it is important,
but are resistant to new
technology due to
regulatory restrictions.”
“They think it is the key
to success and increased
productivity, but haven’t
wanted to invest in the
tools to achieve it.”
“Their idea of
collaboration is
sharing files.”
“They understand the
value and support it, but
see it as a technology
solution, not a people +
technology solution.”

14. Some initial sampling:

15. How well do people within
your organization collaborate?

26. “Never underestimate
the amount of change
management, training,
and effort required to
get people to
collaborate effectively.”
“Don’t be afraid to
stumble. Do some
experiments.”
“Understand the
goals, and work with
leadership to ensure
their visible support.”
“Get everyone on the same
page. Agree on goals,
promote transparency and
sharing (instead of working
individually and in silos).”
“Start by talking about
your expectations. And
decide on some initial
metrics up front, refine
over time as people start
using the technology.”
“Engage people in
the planning process.
Build solutions in
small increments.”
