Collaboration is critical for progressive organizations to succeed – so says HBR

On the cover of this month's Harvard Business Review highlights the importance of collaboration at progressive companies. Collaboration has received a lot of press, now a centerpiece and on the cover of one of the top management and leadership publications in the world. So it must be important. I agree with HBR and the other articles that discuss the merits of collaboration, social and informal learning in the marketplace. (If interested in a free chapter from the new book The New Social Learning, just click through).

One scenario described in the article Are you a Collaborative Leader in this month's HBR discusses how salesforce.com got its entire workforce engaged in their internal (now external) product call Chatter.

We believe the ability to collaborate across all levels of the organization, as well as various time zones is critical for an organization of any size to compete effectively in the today's economy.

Why? First of all, the competitive universe is much larger now than ever before. For many organizations, it is truly a global marketplace, in terms of ideas, talent, customers and competition. The customer expectations and demands are higher. A company's footprint may be larger and virtual as you attract the best talent, wherever they may live. And today's macro economy leaves much to be desired.

With this as the competitive backdrop, how do you ensure your team – no matter how large your company, division or association happens to be - is up to snuff to compete in what is arguably the most challenging business environment in decades?

To start, the leadership of the organization must model this behavior. But how? I recommend the free article, the HBR and other similar articles. You will also want to support and encourage your human resource/training leader to get the tools to get this going within your organization.

The good news: these tools are now readily available and affordable for organizations of all sizes. Many employees are well versed in collaborating in their own life, through the advent of Facebook®, LinkedIn® and other similar tools.

However, you will want to use tools that are developed for organizations, not attempting a tool like Facebook.

Start with your training. Find a tool that reinforces collaboration while you are training your team. Even if you have a learning management system, you can convert that to a very powerful social learning tool. The rest is up to you.

TOPYX® has gained acceptance as an award winning, affordable, easy-to-use eLearning technology that combines traditional learning management system functionality with integrated social learning and eCommerce all-in-one user-friendly, feature-rich software as a service (SaaS) application. TOPYX Bolt™ provides the best of TOPYX's social learning right into your current learning management system.
The result is a collaborative, engaging learning experience for users, whenever they wish and wherever they may be.

Novas, Chief Executive Officer of Interactyx Limited. “The need for enterprises to keep its existing workforce and the onboarding of new employees trained, productive and fully engaged, in our ever increasingly competitive world, has never been more important.

2010 LMS Products of the Year - TOPYX

Social Learning Management System of the Year TOPYX LMS by Interactyx

In my opinion, an absolutely wonderful system in terms of a LMS with social learning functionality. But the key here is you have to purchase the “full version” and not “lite”. Full is unlimited users, free tech and customer support for the first year, lifetime upgrades. Their social learning unique features include:
- Ability to active your Facebook, MySpace and Linkedin accounts from within the LMS
- Use Skype within their system
- Social Learning that can be tied directly at the course level – leave comments, allow others to respond by course, plus create course groups, chat rooms, discussion boards tied to the course
- ShoutBox – end users can discuss in real time across the system, 24/7
