Team collaboration is a prominent trait among today’s winning organizations. Done right, collaboration aids better decision-making, innovative thinking and productivity. Staff are happier, performance is boosted, and there’s less risk of error.

What Is Team Collaboration?

The definition of team collaboration is when two or more people work together to achieve a common goal. This is done through idea sharing, planning and executing in unison. In contrast to working on one’s own, team collaboration is regarded as a more productive way to get work done, and carries less risk.

Tackling a major project – such as a new product launch or the introduction of a new internal process – usually requires a teamwork approach. This entails bringing together a group of employees to allocate and complete tasks, within a set timeframe. 

These days, with technology overcoming geographical barriers, virtual teams are popular. Companies are now appointing the best people for a project – regardless of their work location – to form part of a team and collaborate. This development has created new opportunities for businesses to innovate – but is not without its challenges.

Why Is Team Collaboration Critical In The 21st Century?

Never before has the workplace been so diverse. For the first time in history, five generations are working side-by-side. Each employee has a unique perspective. Their opinions are formed by their own personal experiences. And they have different communication styles – some prefer face-to-face, others the written word. 

Such differences are a lot to manage, particularly when complex, project-based decisions must be made. 

How a team interacts with each other will influence the final outcome. Communication, knowledge transfer and equal respect for each team member are essential for a high-performing team.

How To Improve Team Collaboration

Successful team collaboration is hard work. It doesn’t happen by accident. Planning and implementing the appropriate collaboration tool requires forethought.

• Define and repeatedly communicate the team’s goals
• Promote open communication particularly when faced with a roadblock
• Create structure within meetings and give staff time to prepare
• Encourage creativity and free thinking: all ideas to be respected
• Share experience, knowledge and resources – physically and virtually with file-sharing software
• Invest in collaboration tools with chat and forum functionality
• Create ways for less outspoken team members to contribute ideas 
• Check for understanding by engaging in two-way communication
• Acknowledge and celebrate team success; organize team-building events
