Collaboration

Make more of Collaborative Working

 

Online collaborative working is increasing, driven by a broad set of trends:

• Organisations are consolidating by doing more things centrally, so that teams have to co-ordinate over larger areas
• Travel budgets are being cut to reduce costs and environmental impact
• Employees are looking for work-life balance and want to travel less
• Home working is allows more flexible employment policies and cuts down on property overheads
• Outsourcing and partnerships mean teams are formed across multiple organisations

Providing the right support and environment is therefore essential for productivity, but it takes more than just launching IT tools. ClearBox can help you with

• Collaboration Strategy - ensuring you have the right people, process and technology elements in place across your organisation
• TeamCheck - a comprehensive review of a virtual team’s performance giving feedback, action points and coaching where required.
• Change Management for Collaboration – if you’re planning to launch a tool such as Sharepoint, TeamRoom or Google Apps, then we can help ensure success. We bring experience of the people, culture and behaviour aspects that need to complement the technology change and can help you design and deliver an effective programme.
• Collaboration training - we can put together tailor-made training material to show your employees how to get the most out of your organisation’s collaboration environment. Rather than focusing on the individual tools, we approach it from the employee’s perspective using scenarios to show how tools fit together ans what is the best match for the task. Example scenarios include:  ”managing a distributed project team”,  ”preparing a joint presentation”, “brainstorming new ideas” or ”running a steering group”
