What’s your company doing to foster innovation?
Companies want to be more innovative. The importance of collaboration in making innovation possible is not well understood. In an innovative workplace collaboration is what work is all about. New ways of working will turn collaboration into innovation.
Hutch Carpenter writes about three types of innovative collaboration:
- Peas in a pod
- New partners in crime
- Challengers
What all three have in common is that they rely on people working together actively, in real time.
The ET Group focuses on enabling collaboration in companies through the use of active collaboration technologies. You can deploy these technologies to:
- Enhance communication
- Speed problem solving
- Accelerate innovation
Each of these goals is a progressive shifting of gears into a higher level of collaboration and is accomplished through the deployment and effective use of the right mix of conferencing technologies – audio, web, video and interactive whiteboard.
