Collaborative Environments

The key to a successful collaborative environment is to clearly define the responsibilities of each team member and grant them the freedom to meet those responsibilities in the best way possible.

It is extremely important to staff these teams with professionals that have the education and experience to do more than what they are told. They need to understand what needs to be done, and do it, identifying issues and resolving them independently, ever mindful of their contribution to the team, and the available time and resources.

Team communication should evolve with the team. Any process that produces the desired results is adequate.
