Check out this useful blog post from Jason Collins about the importance of collaboration for a business and guidelines of how to collaborate successfully. He says:
"Collaboration involves bringing together skills, knowledge, expertise and experience into ever increasing decentralised teams to improve and deliver results. The underlying requirement is to recognise the benefits that can be gained and set the ground rules, for building effective collaboration. In business, we often have many different hats on, we all have expert areas individually and corporately however, we cannot be the best at everything. This is a fact, we need to recognise the need to share our skills and ideas with others at times, to deliver a project, turn around a poor performing business or ultimately ensure we make a profit. Collaboration can prove a very effective tool for business, it is a means to seek assistance in the marketplace and increase your competitiveness. Sharing knowledge and expertise should not be seen in a negative light, it is an opportunity for your and your business to learn and work with others."
