Distributed Collaborative Working

Distributed working has become the norm for most organisations over the last decade. During that time, technology has evolved through a number of iterations in order to better support geographically-dispersed teams and the latest variant, Google Wave, is on the horizon. Having the right technology in place is an important enabler, but the mindset of the individuals involved - team members and management alike - is the critical success factor in making successful distributed collaborative working a reality. For Generation Y, distributed collaboration is a very natural approach, but for the rest of us, it can be fraught with constant frustration.

Distributed collaborative working is here to stay. So, it is time to embrace it fully, adapt if necessary and harness the benefits that it truly offers.
