I’ve spent a great deal of my professional career working on helping users collaborate in one form or another. I setup Local Area Networks (LANs) when they were still called that and not networks. I connected folks via email before the Internet was a gleam in Al Gore’s eye. I have spent the last 14 years helping organizations collaborate with Microsoft SharePoint. So when some colleagues said that I had to read Collaboration, I didn’t hesitate to pick up the book. What I didn’t realize when they recommended it was that the author, Morten Hansen, had a specific definition of collaboration in mind, and it didn’t necessarily match my point of view.

Un libro basato su ricerche estensive, che mostra il valore della collaborazione in azienda. Lo fa al di là dell’idea più semplicistica che “collaborare fa bene”, analizzando quali siano i giusti livelli di collaborazione e quali invece possano essere controproducenti. Introduce il concetto di leadership collaborativa, identificando gli aspetti comportamentali che possono causare problemi. E investiga il concetto di network come modalità di collaborazione. Davvero un ottimo libro, molto attuale anche grazie alle recenti scoperte in ambito di network analytics.
