10. Collaboration Is Not a Baseball Game
Even if you build a collaborative platform, they may not come …
And even if they do come … “We’ve built a great deal of capability
but it only represents 1% of all the activity being done to create
real work because it’s not part of the flow of the work.”

11. Successful, Sustainable Collaboration Platforms
Have to Work for the Individual
Is this easy to use?
• Intuitive, with little or no learning
curve
• Versatile design, allowing users to
adapt it for their specific use
• Powerful search and filtering
technology
• Single sign‐on
• Integration with mobile technologies
• Ability to create secure working
groups
Does this help me do my job better?
• Value based on saving time – useful content and the ability to connect and
communicate
• Incentives that align with knowledge‐sharing and platform use, including
having a stake, having a voice, having an impact, and having a community
bond

12. Successful, Sustainable Collaboration Platforms Are
Sustained by a Supportive Organizational Culture
Organizations have their own rhythm for how
things get done, but enabling factors for
collaborative capacity include:
• Highly engaged, committed employees
• Existence of trust based relationships
• Prevalence of networking opportunities
• HR processes aligned with collaboration
• Organizational philosophy supporting a
“community of adults”
• Leaders with both task and relationship skills
Collaboration is sustained not • Productive and efficient behaviors and processes
because of the technology • Important and challenging tasks
platform but because of • Clearly defined individual roles and responsibilities
organizational culture
• Executives who model collaboration

14. Building Trust
Developing an Emerging Consensus
Building Employee Trust at the Transportation Security Administration
• Management developed a collaborative process and platform to solicit and
discuss ideas from the community of 43,000 employees
• Starting with relatively simple issues as discussion starters, they advanced
to tackle complex and sensitive issues such as restructuring the employee
compensation scheme
• TSA leaders found they could build trust through transparency into how
ideas are evaluated and why final decisions are reached

15. Enabling Factors
HR Practices that Encompass Collaboration
The simple truth – some people enjoy collaborating more than
others.
Some are more likely to flourish in an environment that depends on
collaborative skills.

16. HR Practices
Inviting an Honest Assessment of Fit
• A four‐week training period immerses employees in the company’s
strategy, culture, and obsession with customers
• After one week, employees are offered a $2,000 bonus if they agree
to quit that day
• Logic: if you’re willing to take the company up on the offer, you don’t
have the sense of commitment Zappos is looking for

17. HR Practices
Developing a Commitment to Collaboration
To begin addressing the cultural
barriers around knowledge sharing:
• Created a series of case studies
focused on real events in the
company’s past that illuminate
values, processes, and norms
• Cases are discussed as part of
employee “on‐boarding” to promote
a better understanding of how the
company works and encouraging a
culture of knowledge sharing and
collaborative problem solving

19. Creating a Community of Adults
The “Results‐Only Work Environment”
• No fixed schedules, no mandatory meetings, no impression‐
management requirements and work‐life balance . . .
• ROWE judges performance on output instead of hours
• Since implementation, key indicators show
Productivity is up by 35%
Average voluntary turnover is down dramatically
Employee engagement is up

20. Creating a Community of Adults
Determining What My Work is Worth
• A program called “Up ‘n’ Down Pay” allows employees to manage
their own pay, flexibly
• Provides compensation information for comparable jobs in the
company or industry
• Has found that individuals almost always do so fairly based on the
information they are provided

21. Creating a Community of Adults
Owning My Own Development
• Social networking site
• You identify 10 or so people you trust and from whom you’d like
to learn (receive “feedback” in the Gen Y sense)
• You request feedback whenever . . . multiple times a day around
specific activities
• The individual owns the feedback process

23. Focus on Important and Challenging
Established the “59 Councils”
An Important and
Challenging Goal
• Important goal: manage new businesses
• Replaced its hierarchical decision‐making structure with 59 councils
• Challenging conditions: avoid the stagnation of hanging on in old
markets too long and not entering new markets nimbly, at the right time
• CEO John Chambers: “a distributed idea engine where leadership
emerges organically, unfettered by a central command”

25. Clarify Roles and Responsibilities
Guard Rails for Creativity
Principles that Allow
Individuals to Act
• The P&G Principles, Values, and Purpose (PVP)
Initially: To improve the lives of the world’s consumers
Revised: To improve more lives in more places more completely
• Because management is scrutinizing everyone’s actions against the
PVP, people are free to act

27. Executives who Model Collaboration
The New Leadership Mantra
It’s ALL about the community . . . It may take longer, but it’s better to get buy‐in from
the community
Just ask, because few do . . . Volunteers able and willing to do more than you think
Lead by following . . . Managers are more powerful when they are “not leading”
Nurture renegades . . . Interesting innovative things happen when people are allowed to
break or change the rules in an organization
Think hybrid . . . Open source approaches can be more powerful when paired with
conventional approaches; blend your approach to a particular problem or issue
Think globally . . . It’s virtual so there is a world of options available to the organization
Shut up and listen. . . always . . . and very carefully

28. Why Is Collaboration So Difficult For Many Organizations
Because collaboration is discretionary …
People have to want to do it
You often can’t tell if they really are doing it
It takes time and effort . . . and is personally hard
It’s not always worth it
It takes many forms
Almost all the corporate etiquette and “unwritten
rules” of the culture discourage it
