We've never been so well-equipped to collaborate and be more productive, but the numbers don't bear this out.
It's well known that collaboration is more a matter of practices than tools, but businesses seem to persist in believing that technology is self-sustaining.
But nothing can be done: tools are piled on top of...
For a long time I've been convinced that technology would help us to work better, both individually and collectively, and it's not for nothing that the historical theme of this blog has been collaboration.
