Building a Culture of Collaboration

  • Despite the advent of so many tools designed to enable us to work flexibly, virtually and independently, the value of teams effectively working together to create value has only grown in parallel

  • Exploring collaborative technology like Workplace by Facebook and Office 365 which have received so much attention in the last year

  • Regardless of the digital tools we choose, successful implementation will come down to culture

  • This discussion will pivot from success factors and lessons learned from Edelman’s own digital transformation experience to broader themes around building a culture of collaboration
