3 Easy Ways to Collaborate

Throughout my many years in business, I've seen many friends and entrepreneurs change multiple elements of their businesses, but none of which has been as rapid and drastic as when the pandemic hit. There were many highs and lows when taking on these new challenges that no one could have accounted for, but what separates those who pivot, is collaboration.?

In 2018, I completely decentralised my team, ahead of the work from home now we are now living. There were so many amazing minds that I wanted to collaborate with and to have involved in my projects, that I wouldn’t let the distance stop me! Some of my team, I still have not met face to face but it has become a very common business practise if you want to have the best suited people working for you!

We are constantly innovating and transforming the way we do things as we move forward to ensure the team are all on the same page. Even though we may not all be in the same place, the art of collaborating with these amazing people has enabled us to drive our business forward.?

Now I know a lot of you have nailed the WFH home thing, but if you haven’t, that’s okay! Here are three ways to ensure amazing collaborations:

1. Have great communication with your team?

Make sure your team are on the same page and you are regularly communicating with them and checking in. We find there are many great apps you can use to list tasks to make it easy for the team to move in sync.

2. Master the art of pivoting!

This can take practise but once you master the mindset it can change everything! When obstacles arise, instead of looking at them and turning the other way in defeat – see them as a challenge to run towards them - especially in times like this! Assess the obstacle and if there really is no way around it, find someone equipped who does!?

3. The right hardware, software, and accessories improve usability and collaboration!

HP ZBook Studio, HP Zbook Create and the HP ENVY 15 have all been designed specifically with creative professionals in mind. What makes the Zbook Create and Zbook Studio even more amazing is they are the first mobile workstation products with ocean-bound plastics! Not only efficient and sleek but they also have an element of sustainability!?

Technology has evolved so much over the past decade and our ability to reach each other on opposite sides of the world is incredible! It has done such wonders for us business owners!?
