There are many collaboration tools available that will help your team with planning, project management and communication. Not only will you find your teams are more engaged and aligned, but the time saved will also likely justify the outlay.

In a world where content teams can be made up of internal staff, freelancers and external vendors, it can be difficult to bring everyone together on the same page. Given the recent impact of COVID-19, team members are using technology to communicate virtually on a daily basis, so why not give some serious consideration as to how you and your team can best collaborate virtually?
I've pulled together a selection of tools that I believe will make a big difference to the way you work and hopefully go some way to foster a culture of collaboration.
Like anything, you only get out as much as you put in. A full rollout and integration programme is advisable to make sure that all stakeholders are onboarded and the full capabilities of the tools are utilised.
Developing a clear vision across the business will help negate any potential hurdles that may appear, allowing for a bespoke system and process design that will benefit the team/s and the quality of your content output.
It's worth noting that professionals are working in the area of optimising the setup of these collaboration tools, advising on best practice and delivering group training.
