The Real Reason Why Employees Should Use Collaboration Tools At Work

Why should employees use internal collaboration tools to get work done, why not just stick with email? It's a fair question right? I should know, I wrote a 340 page strategy guide called The Collaborative Organization where I listed out all sorts of reasons, case studies, strategies, and tactics. Companies around the world spends hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars on collaboration platforms to get employees to move away from email and into more efficient and ways of communicating and collaboration. The ultimate challenge for these companies always revolves around getting employees to use the tools. Technology is just that, a tool, but without usage it's meaningless. I've worked with and researched many companies over the past few years to understand how they position and sell these collaboration initiatives internally.
