Digitale Zusammenarbeit 4.0 – die Gebrauchsanleitung | Buch-Release Zürich

Info

The theme of collaboration is recognized as crucial by many. However, few have systematically learned how to effectively implement it, especially under digital conditions. The authors of the book have formulated 14 fundamental principles and over 30 practical methods to facilitate this.

Collaboration has transitioned from being the exception to the norm in a connected world. Effective collaboration enhances both the beauty of life and work outcomes, while poor collaboration leads to frustration, mistakes, and increased effort. As we enter the age of work 4.0, we are learning that true innovation in digital connectivity lies not in file storage or cloud software functionalities, but in redesigning connected collaboration. The principles outlined inDigital Collaboration 4.0 can eliminate unnecessary emails, halve meeting durations, reduce errors and frustration, and free up more energy for creativity, focus, and efficiency. In short, more effort can be dedicated to "the actual work."

Also, they want to avoid confusion caused by chaotic file versions like Protocol_2_2_revised_finalfinal_version.docx.
