Online collaborative working
Online collaborative working is increasing, driven by a broad set of trends:
- Organisations are consolidating by doing more things centrally, so that teams have to co-ordinate over larger areas
- Travel budgets are being cut to reduce costs and environmental impact
- Employees are looking for work-life balance and want to travel less
- Home working is allows more flexible employment policies and cuts down on property overheads
- Outsourcing and partnerships mean teams are formed across multiple organisations
