With the growth of remote workforce, 2014 saw a vast number of organizations and companies getting more proactive and seeking out effective communication and collaboration solutions.
As more and more companies, especially small and middle-sized, are realizing the value of collaboration technology and of the digital workplace, it’s no longer the question of whether new ways of collaboration can help, but how to get the most out of these solutions.

Almost every day there is a new product launched, but starting a business is not simply about having a great idea or a product.
The mere uncertainty of startups is both frightening and stimulating.
If all you have is a good product, starting your business can be a daunting journey. A startup might fail due to bad marketing strategy, or disagreement on investment, and while opinions differ, it’s, however, evident that startups very often fail not because they have a bad product, but rather due to bad management, lack of collaboration, and inability to generate consumer interest.
Luckily, many collaboration business tools are built having in mind startup ecosystem, but what tools a...

When productivity drops, what can you do to motivate your employees?
Although a much over-used term, motivation means you need to provide opportunities for a person to be excited and inspired about their work.
It sounds simply enough, however, creating an atmosphere in which your team feels empowered and engaged takes time and energy.
Motivation is a topic that leaves many businesses cold, those businesses that follow the lead of hard-pressed managers who believe they already know the proven ways to motivate a group of people to work better and harder.
But a successful business is a family of satisfied workers. Tweet
Providing constructive feedback, listening to your employees,...

Business meetings don’t always work as well as they should, right?
Badly run meetings do little, if anything, but waste our time.
Whether one deals with dysfunctional project teams or individuals, whether it’s a company or an organization, when people try to work in groups, it’s inevitable to experience some of the downsides of business meetings, at least once in your career.
However, today, if one wishes to achieve goals and support the growth of business, faster decision-making is one of the skills to master.
That’s precisely why business meetings are goal-reaching opportunities.
A well-run meeting empowers people to solve problems, share information and be more productive....

We live in a world that is driven by software. It has become one of the world’s most successful and fastest growing economies. Companies like Facebook and Google have become one of the worlds largest earning companies. Almost whole of humanity is relying on some type of software to an extent.
Why is this?
Because of the demand! In the past decade the tech industry grew a lot slower. Of course, it is still developing and growing, but compared to the 80’s and 90’s, progress has slowed down. Our phones got smaller, and then after a while bigger again. We got touch screens, instead of one, we put 5 processors in our computers. In reality this is not...

All companies start as a small business. Tweet
Which businesses are defined as "small" in terms of government support and tax policy varies depending on the country and industry. Small businesses can range from 15 employees under the Australian Fair Work Act 2009, 50 employees according to the definition used by the European Union, and fewer than 500 employees to qualify for many U.S. Small Business Administration programs.

When your calendar is packed, you think that all that time is put to good use, and that you are 100% productive. That's not always the case simply because your productivity does not depend solely upon your behaviour. Although the end results are the most important, time spend on achieving those is equally important. So what are the biggest time wasters that even high profile personalities suffer from? The first place goes out to…

Is your team merely a group of individuals?
Working together, as sharing the same office space, and collaborating with one another, as communicating and sharing skills and knowledge to accomplish the goal, differs.
Organizations and businesses can’t apply the same rules to collaboration and communication within teams, however, those rules could be modified and tailored to company’s specific needs and values.
Why is it important for brands to communicate well?
Every business sets up their own rules and principles in time, thus one can recognize and identify the reasons a business could fail at collaboration. Unfortunately, communication might be the number one reason.
Why is it...
