Why is it so difficult to get things done at work and are there specific tactics to improve team collaboration?
With the proliferation of tech tools like Zoom, Slack, Miro, Trello, Asana, and others, team interactions have never been easier.
But why do we often feel that things are not getting done?
A recent McKinsey study showed that despite the increasing volume of real-time interactions many teams struggle with true, productive, value-creating collaboration.
Teams spend too much time on pointless interactions that drain energy and produce information overload.
McKinsey recommends several shifts and tactics to improve team collaboration.
