The complexity of digital transformation requires significant multi-disciplinary collaboration to understand, analyze and resolve problems. But, historically, information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) teams have worked in isolation of each other. They have different priorities, often don’t speak to each other at all, and, when they do, they speak a different language when it comes to technology terms.
Bridging this IT/OT divide is an essential aspect of a successful digital transformation. But the need to collaborate to innovate also extends to other areas of the company, including the partner ecosystem.
For some clarity on strategy, this article will help identify ideas you can implement to enhance collaboration in your organization.
Value of collaboration
When engineers and others shift mindsets from a hyper-individualistic approach to a more collaborative culture, then teams make digital transformation progress and foster innovation.
Collaboration causes individuals on digital transformation teams to challenge each other. Those creative interactions lead to:
- Innovative designs.
- Practical solutions to problems.
- An improved level of team performance.
- Reduced risks.
- Avoidance of the common reasons for failure.
When organizations enhance their collaboration culture with software that aids collaborative work, digital transformation is more efficient.
