- All right, that's it.
We've reached the conclusion of this course
on business collaboration in the modern workplace.
I've tried to lay some boundaries around the terms
collaboration and the modern workplace.
They're a little slippery, and they're continuing to evolve,
but I think we've established some definitions
that are enough to give us a place to start from.
I described what for me make up the pieces
of a collaborative ecosystem,
file management and sharing tools,
tools for communication, whether by voice, video, or text,
digital communities and teams,
integrated suites like Google or Office 365,
that combine a variety of tools in one collected system,
and other productivity hardware and tools.
We talked about the why of collaboration,
and some of the benefits it can provide
to both the organization and the individual.
I highlighted some of the considerations
that a business should understand
as they embark on their collaboration journey.
I also talked about some of the things that
businesses need to do to foster the culture of collaboration
and keep people engaged.
And finally, I gave you some practical things you can do,
which I consider to be best practices
in a collaborative workplace.
I have really only scratched the surface when it comes to
talking about all the different technology tools.
Seriously, there's just too much for one course.
However, if you're interested in delving
deeper into specific things,
there are a wealth of courses available to you.
I mentioned a few in passing, but rather than
call them all out now, I've provided a brief directory
in the course files.
Check that out and search the course library for more.
Thanks for watching.
