Collaboration Skills Are Now Indispensable For Business

"It has been said that during the last decade, individuals and groups do more in a day than entire departments did in one year. Soon this pace will be increased and accelerated as the information age becomes a business reality. In a world where information and communication is at a fast pace, teamwork and working collaboratively is indispensable for business. In today's environment of continuous change, even talented individuals won’t have enough time or expertise to absorb rapidly shifting issues and information nor will they have the time or the ability to communicate decisions to large number of people. However, successful collaboration efforts just don’t happen; they use techniques and methods applied through skilled group facilitation" (by Jeff Miller: Leadership, Collaboration, Change)
