Blended Collaboration
The Case for Blended Collaboration
Distributed teams have become a standard pattern of work.
However, organizations have not yet mastered to establish frameworks for effective collaboration.
Inclusivity is one of the magic sticks for organizations to produce better results and manage the complexity of our world.
What is Blended Collaboration?
Blended collaboration is the combination of skills, practices and tools from different worlds.
Real time: We interact directly and without time gap.
Near time: We interact whenever convenient but close in time to the stimulus.
Asynchronous: We interact whenever suitable to our own working patterns.

Discussion (please write in the chat box)Question 1
What are success factors for effective collaboration?
Resistance
Reasons for resistance to effective collaboration:
1. lack of incentives for collaboration2. Knowledge is an inter-organizational currency3. Collaboration is a question of trust and loyalty4. Virtual collaboration is considered as an “IT issue”, and IT
departments are driving the process5. Physical and virtual collaboration are different6. Virtual collaboration is considered as a second-hand
substitute for physical collaboration
7. People (and organizations) just don’t know how to do it
Changing attitudes
Principles of the Change Journey
All people have concerns, purposes and circumstances that matter to them. If people feel that their issues are acknowledged and respected, they will support change.
Change has its boundaries and limits. Change is partly given to us, and everything is not negotiable. There will always be conditions that we need to accept and work around.
Problems become our friends little by little. We need to start small in the beginning of our change journey and improve the process along the way.
Everybody needs to become an innovator. Widen the circle of involvement as much as possible and get people to buy in.
Multilevel communication about change is essential. Connect people to the content of the change and to each other by virtual and face-to-face means.
