Microsoft Ignite 2016 #THR1044. Session sharing initial results of the Measuring Collaboration Success community initiative, with this presentation focusing on the failure of organizations to properly define collaboration, which impacts their ability to then monitor and measure whether or not it has been successful.

5. Why is small team collaboration easy?

6. Why doesn’t small team success easily
scale to large organizations?

8. “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.”

18. “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.”
