Collaboration is at its essence, the intellectual interaction and harmony between humans.

Collaboration happens in that space between people in relationships receptively and thoughtfully interacting with interest and caring for one another's needs and activities. Collaboration is the route towards revitalizing the digital workforce to be future-ready for unlocking collective human potentiality. 

Building and sustaining dynamics in a workforce are about collaboration with people at any level, especially cross functionally. It’s critical to build an effective collaboration framework, set rules, align people, process and technology to bring people together for a clearly defined vision, create business synergy and achieve strategic goals effortlessly.

Collaboration rules: As collaboration creates a sense of belonging, seeking out help and harnessing mass collaboration. The purpose of setting collaboration principles is to build an effective digital workplace in which collaboration and sharing are the norms, focusing on harnessing cross-functional collaboration through iterative communications, robust processes, and efficient technological tools, to achieve certain values. It’s important to cultivate the zest for breaking down silos, working collaboratively, generating new ideas or solving complex problems effortlessly.

Cross-silo or cross-divisional collaboration is crucial to build dynamic digital capabilities. The hybrid collaboration rules such as inclusiversity (inclusion + diversity), coorpetion (collaboration + competition), etc, enables the management to bring the right people with complementary skills together quickly to make progress sooner, faster decisions and access to the right resources easily, figure out better ways to solve problems smoothly.

Collaboration process:
For all meaningful human social interactions and collaboration, there are processes underneath, so there are many touch points in processes that will take us into the collaboration world. The process is simply a mechanism to define how it's distributed and how to know when it's done. There are event driven processes and people-centric process management. Social business process management resides at the intersection of process and collaborative activity. Collaborative process management supports more-effective process execution through the use of social software tools that augment human actions to better mirror the way work is performed, while also providing visibility to the work. It's critical to embed collaboration into the pattern of work, follow collaboration rules: be inclusive rather than exclusive, encourage creative thinking, brainstorming and knowledge sharing.

Collaboration software, tools:
The emerging digital technologies such as enterprise social computing could be effective tools to break down a hierarchical culture and harness cross-functional interaction, communication, and collaboration. This includes the ability to support all sorts of collaboration activities, etc. It’s important to create a holistic process design that is open to influence and change from a variety of perspectives (for example, customers, partners, suppliers, employees and the collective).The focus ought to be on how the work gets done more effectively. Technically, it's about understanding the nature correlation & connection of people, process, and technology. If traditional business process management is a bit artificial, then collaborative social process management seems more natural & artistic. Using social platforms and collaborative tools as part of the design to improve business holism and innovativeness.

Collaboration teams:
High mature organizations treat employees, customers, channel partners, suppliers, and industry ecosystem participants as active agents to enforce cross-boundary interrelations, interactions, and mass collaboration for co-creating ideas, co-solving complex problems. Every collaborative team will be different and hence, produce different results. Don't expect your collaboration to be the same. To catalyze innovation, sometimes, vulnerability is key! As you need to be vulnerable to hearing the ideas challenged from a viewpoint different from your own for spurring creative insight.

Orchestrate competitive teams, find your own balance and you will find your innovation. In the spirit of 'being the change," it is imperative that we are willing to seek out help and collaboration as we work to generate new ideas or solve problems. When organizations orchestrate a broader ecosystem beyond functional, business, industrial, or geographical borders, the collaborative or coaching management styles are required to move to higher-performing dynamic ecosystems with seamless collaboration and knowledge transfer innovation.

There are many reasons to collaborate and there are numerous ways to collaborate for achieving desired results and amplifying collective human potential. Collaboration is at its essence, the intellectual interaction and harmony between humans. It is important to build an effective platform and  figure out a more efficient way of applying collaboration philosophy to foster cross-functional interaction to boost energy, enforce learning, harness innovation and accelerate performance.
