It’s important to cultivate the zest for generating new ideas or solving complex problems by breaking down silos, seeking out help and harnessing mass collaboration.
Human progress is achieved through three stages- dependent, independent, and interdependent. Thanks to emerging technologies and abundant information flow, the functional, geographical, or industrial borders are blurred, people are encouraged to break down silos, seek out help, brainstorm fresh ideas, and co-solve existing or emerging business problems collaboratively.
Collaboration, teamwork, and unity bring complementary strength and amplify collective potential.
Strategic collaboration: Collaboration is about well aligning people, process and technology and managing them holistically to achieve certain values. In fact, cross-functional collaboration is a prerequisite to implement a corporate strategy. The management needs to have a collaborative spirit to initiate digital dialogues, brainstorm ideas, turn around the tough situations, and skillfully assign their talent, resources and time carefully to solve problems that really matter. Many companies count on their partners to build business capabilities. They can manage a mixed bag of diversified vendors and multifaceted partnerships via interrelations, interactions, or inter-relational interactions to accelerate products/service delivery cycles.
In reality, silos are a typical pattern used in complex business systems in an attempt to keep complexity under some semblance of control. One of the primary impediments to collaboration is a dissonance between upper and middle management and a similar dissonance between middle management and frontlines. If shortage of collaboration is a root cause for many problems at a strategic level, open-minded leaders and change agents are in strong demand to enhance cross-silo or cross-divisional communication, as collaboration is crucial to build dynamic capabilities for successful strategy management.
Cross-disciplinary collaboration: Many business problems are complex, trying to fix the wrong cause of a problem will waste time and resources, increase anxiety, and reward mediocrity, even creating more problems later on. If people all stayed in a box and didn't believe things exist outside of their box, there's no room to broaden our thoughts, expand knowledge, and they would have blind spots when making decisions for effective problem-solving. Business leaders and professionals who demonstrate multidimensional thinking and interdisciplinary knowledge, are able to understand the interdependence of issues, recognize and diagnose the plethora of contextual factors inherent in the circumstances, then intentionally and intuitively adjust their mindset and behaviors in order to exert influence in that context.
Collaboratively, the team with complementary mindset and skill set can sustain diversified viewpoints into holistic perspectives without enlarging cognitive gaps and causing too many side effects. Cross-disciplinary collaboration and integral methodology enable business leaders and professionals to look at the wider aspects around problem space, and then understand the effect of imposing boundaries within that space, in order to frame the right problem and solve it in a structural way. If the collaboration is not bearing fruit, then, by all means, upset the apple cart and start anew. It’s important to optimize collaboration complexity and make people more productive and business agiler to adapt to changes.
Global collaboration: Nowadays, we live in a hyperconnected global society, silos cause slowness and small-thinking. Organization is about collaboration, which needs to focus on harnessing cross-boundary collaboration through iterative communications, robust processes, and efficient technological tools. In reality, there are many international organizations, but very few integral global companies. There is a disconnect between different generations of employees, or cross-cultural misunderstanding due to the rapid change in technology and current worldwide culture that has taken place. Collaboration in the global organization requires a much higher degree of innovative thinking and cross disciplinary knowledge expertise.
The key is to stay connected and learn with each other between different generations, diverse cultures, varying vertical industries, facilitate cross-boundary communication and collaboration, inspire positive substance and style. Insightful global leaders are able to gain world-class insight which is based on the updated global view that looks at problems or issues in such a way that a solution emerges through an interdisciplinary and multicultural approach collaboratively. As a matter of fact, many companies that get stuck at the lower level of maturity have never been better positioned to break out of a static industry/geographical box and engage in mass collaborations to spark innovation and make leapfrog changes.
Collaboration does create a sense of belonging. It’s important to cultivate the zest for generating new ideas or solving complex problems by breaking down silos, seeking out help and harnessing mass collaboration. The real value of collaboration is to bring a diverse population together and a collective pool of all the expertise for unlocking collective performance and making societal progress.
