Collaboration

Collaboration is the process of working together on a shared goal. It is the hallmark of volunteer organizations and grassroots movements.

William Gaver wrote:

• The shift from computer systems that support a single user working alone to those supporting a group of users working together is a profound one. It leads to a consideration of the ways people work together in the everyday world and possible ways to extend and support their interactions. [1]

According to Corey Moseley, a writer on company culture, employee engagement, and internal communications, as far as collaboration skills, "Collaboration is all about bringing people together from different departments, locations, and teams, then focusing their efforts on a common goal. But it can’t happen unless everyone’s on the same page, skill-wise. Collaboration is a process, but collaborating well is a skill that’s honed over time."
