Collaboration Definition


COLLABORATE
(v.)

working jointly

on an activity,
especially fo produce
or create something

Virtually every imaginable job in today's workplace entails at least some joint effort by team members in order to accomplish goals, making cooperation an essential skill in most sectors of the work world.


What is Workplace Collaboration?

Collaboration enable workers to interface productively with others on the job.  Successful collaboration requires a cooperative spirit and mutual respect.  Employers typically seek employees who function effectively as a part of a team and are willing to balance personal achievement with group goals.

In some cases, teams that collaborate may be members of the same department working on ongoing activities that require coordination. In other cases, interdepartmental teams are assembled to carry out a special project.  

Collaboration can occur between many different types of partners. Collaboration often occurs among members of a work team in the same department. However, collaboration can also occur between bosses and subordinates or between members of different departments who form a cross-functional team. 

Service providers can collaborate with clients to achieve goals, and vendors can cooperate with customers to implement products or services. Collaboration can also occur with individuals outside one's employer such as business partners, customers, clients, contractors, volunteers, and suppliers.

In fact, Collaboration is everytime, everywhere if any professional want to succeeded in collegue, in your life, in your professional life.


Four Tips on How to Have a Successful Collaboration


COLLABORATION

4 STEPS TO COLLABORATIVE SUCCESS

1. Be open and honest. There is no such thing as a perfect collaboration (or relationship), but open and direct communication is absolutely necessary to establish the mutual trust needed for a successful partnership.

2. Take the long view. When you are first starting your lab, it is easy to focus on authorship or other accolades. Recognize that if you behave respectably and share credit appropriately, then everyone will benefit.

3. Have fun. It is important to like and want to spend time with your collaborators, otherwise the work is no fun. The same characteristics that make a good friend can also make a good collaborator. 

4. Give without expecting anything in return. This is particulary important to do on bebee. It is human nature for people to be focused on wanting to receive something for themselves or their business.

Collaborate With Co-Workers


A team should be more than the sum of its parts, with the individual strengths of the teammates contributing positively to the bottom line. A collaboration is only useful if it works. Many factors affect success or failure, including too much time spent in meetings and leaning on others to the point of laziness. When collaboration is successful, it is an incredibly useful tool for productivity and innovation in the workplace


How Successful Virtual Teams Collaborate


There’s a world of difference between merely working together and truly collaborating with one another. Collaborative activity is the secret sauce that enables teams to come up with innovative new products or creative, buzz-worthy marketing campaigns. But people can also collaborate creatively around a seemingly mundane project — like the installation of a new accounting package — and use that initiative to transform the way in which an organization does business.

Don’t be afraid of social media. People are more prone to collaborate with others who are similar to them. So how, then, do you get dissimilar people to collaborate? The trick is to find the common ground between such individuals, and social media — blogs, wikis, collaboration tools, etc. — play a huge role in doing so. Many managers have been fearful of using social media beyond marketing purposes. But those companies that have begun to use social media for internal purposes are starting to reap the benefits.

Collaboration is a key factor 

Collaboration is a key factor in building a small business because it works. People thrive in environments which free them to communicate and work together. When the company environment is focused on collaboration, team members naturally feel a part of something bigger than themselves. The best way to transition from an individual to a collaborative mindset is to equip each team member for active participation in the group dynamic.


An effective collaboration platform should include:

  • A suite of social tools – Producing Collaborative Content, wikis, blogs, profiles, shared workspaces.
  • Training capabilities – such as an elearning platform and Learning Management Systems.
  • Communication Tools – to enable mobility, video conferencing

To Make Smart Collaboration Happen 


Build An Online Infrastructure For Social Learning And Networking. A framework for sharing puts everyone on the same page and allows people to get to know each other in new and exciting ways. When a vibrant online community is created, wonderful, insightful, spontaneous connections are made. We’ve all been there: someone posts something so cool, inspiring, elucidating that all you can say is “Wow”.

Ian Weinberg, you are absolutely corrct. Those who approach collaboration as an end in itself are destined to perpetually navigate the endless shallow waters of contemporary social media. Collaboration is a tool, not a goal and must be approached as such in order to be fruitful. Moreover, if “Collaborative Professional Networking” is to have genuine meaning, it has to be grounded in transparent operation and mangement — no undisclosed agendas or undiclosed manipulation by platform ownership or management. And it has to embody 100% organic engagement and connections, combined with the ability to form and maintain goal-specific collaborative groups and protect them from gratuitos, destructive forays mounted by habitual disruptors. All of these requirements work against the historical paradigm of Social Media monetization and require an authentic shift in basic philosophy. Otherwise, talk of collaboration amounts to no mor than the same old marketing jingoism disguised as a “new” idea. Those who ignore history are fated to repeat the mis-steps etched there. If you are interested in discussing a genuine initiative to establish Collaborative Professional Networking, consider joing the conversation that began more than three weeks ago on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6347258477970288640 https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6353101805794131968 Your contribution would be welcomed and valued.

yes i am finally about to compound
Reasons Collaboration Can Help You Grow Your Business 1. Collaboration can inspire you. 2. Collaboration helps you grow your network. Successful entrepreneurs have a common interest in meeting new people and building a list of contacts and colleagues. 3. Collaboration is educational. One of the biggest benefits of collaboration is the opportunity for learning. 4. Collaboration can help you save money. Many collaborative relationships involve splitting intellectual contribution, hands-on work and, sometimes, expenses. If you collaborate with another business and part of the terms involve sharing development and marketing expenses, you can double your budget while reducing costs. 5. Collaboration solves problems. There is a reason why crowdsourcing is so popular; there is an undeniable power in numbers. If one person can't accomplish something on his or her own, two or three or more people may be able to get it done.
Collaboration at the conceptual level, involves: Awareness – We become part of a working entity with a shared purpose Motivation – We drive to gain consensus in problem solving or development Self-synchronization – We decide as individuals when things need to happen Participation – We participate in collaboration and we expect others to participate Mediation – We negotiate and we collaborate together and find a middle point Reciprocity – We share and we expect sharing in return through reciprocity Reflection – We think and we consider alternatives Engagement – We proactively engage rather than wait and see

Great points about collaboration Javier \ud83d\udc1d beBee! I do agree, virtual collaboration is growing and it works well for so many. My husband works a lot from his home office (remotely) and stays in contact w/his employees via phone or email through out the day. One of his employees also works remotely if he can't make it in because of a child being sick for example. But, with IT, we do need people on site. Finding common ground between employees sure is key!

exaclty. There are no barriers. Virtual collaboration is a must !

Thanks for sharing another excellent blogging buzz, Javier. I think most workforce collaboration will ultimately shift to the virtual work space. This is because more and more employers are recognizing that remote work simply makes good business sense for many jobs (but not all) in today's increasingly mobile, digital and virtual world. Moreover, the technology already exists for virtual meetings and multi-employee cross-collaboration in real time online. These tech tools are only becoming more advanced and widespread as the entire 20th century workplace paradigm radically shifts away from the antiquated and expensive brick-and-mortar structure -- with all employees under one roof like cattle in a barn. On the other hand, the 21st century emerging virtual work space which allows for more effective, efficient and expeditious global interaction among all employees and management levels. Therefore, more companies should begin promoting virtual work tools and provide training to make this transition a smooth one -- if they haven't already. What do YOU think, bees?

Susan \ud83d\udc1d Botello I fully agree. You can be innovative and competitive while still supporting an entire community and collaborating with other businesses and entities. I am much more successful when I collaborate.
Again, Your success is compounded when you collaborate. Indivualism is never possitive.

Ian Weinberg ownership is not the opposite of collaboration. I collaborate and I own my assets.

Javier \ud83d\udc1d beBee I would agree with the importance of collaboration as a value-add to positive development and evolution of ideas, concepts and structures. However IMO, collaboration is not effective as an end in itself. For development to be effective one needs ownership, either individual or group ownership, to drive the process in a focused way to conclusion.
