Recommendation

Remote work – whether full time or hybrid – is here to stay. To function well in this environment, collaboration expert Phil Simon believes firms must harness the power of collaboration hubs. He explains that collaborative tools – such as Slack, Microsoft Teams and Zoom – support cooperation, convey corporate culture and radically improve the ways that people work together. He advises leaders at large and small companies to maintain organizational flexibility, support continual learning and embrace these tools in order to keep up with technological change and maintain internal cohesion, no matter where their employees sit.

Take-Aways

  • New technologies such as Slack, Microsoft Teams and Zoom can gradually change society. Learn to use them effectively.
  • Increased collaboration is linked to multiple business benefits.
  • Email isn’t an effective collaboration tool and wasn’t designed to be one.
