What Is Really Happening With Virtual Collaboration?
Why Is It Important?
Re-imagining Collaboration www.radical-inclusion.com
What Do The Words Mean? • Social Media
– Computer tools used over the internet • Enable you to find, relate and share
– Information (text, video, sound), relationships & expertise (people)
• Collaboration
– Two or more people coming together to accomplishing something within a defined boundary
• Lots of different forms of collaboration – Online and sometimes blending physical and virtual worlds
• More on “accomplishing something” later.
• Social Collaborators
– A variety of formal groups using computer and other tools over the internet to accomplish a work purpose with a defined boundary.
• Business, non-profit, government, educational, professional or community groups

Executive Summary
Tendency is to see social/virtual collaboration through the lens of traditional 20th century IT approaches to process and structural change.
Most do not connect the dots between three
distinct areas for successful virtual
collaboration
Wide spread pilots and early production. Struggle is with user adoption, but more importantly with user engagement

Key Findings
11
Re-imagining Collaboration www.radical-inclusion.com
Biggest Barrier to Collaboration #1 – Engaging others in collaboration
• Varying perceptions about meaning of collaboration • Knowledge of collaborative skills
– Lack of leadership modeling behaviors – Time pressure: real and perceived – Competitive attitudes
» Sharing content and getting credit
• Willingness to try new things – How to use the technical tools with others – Assumptions about face-to-face vs. virtual – Cultural differences (ethnic, organizational, generational)
#2 – Rigid emphasis on risk leading to control rather than design
– Policies narrowly defined by a single group – IT, Executives, Legal, etc.
– Concerns about privacy and competitive intelligence

Collaborative Behavioral Gap The organizations’ espoused value of selected collaborative behaviors vs. how much they are actually practiced in day-to-day interactions. Scale of 1 to 5, with 1 = not at all and 5 = all the time.

Investment Gap
• Resistance from users, management, etc. cited as major and most difficult challenge
• Mismatch between budget allocation and drivers
• Difficult to measure ROI. Orgs don’t understand what drives the productivity of knowledge workers
