Hybrid Collaboration Study

The focus of the research is on synchronous hybrid collaboration due to the fact that most of the difficulties experienced occur when multiple collaborators are working together at the same time, versus non-synchronous activity such as email exchanges or sharing of documents.

The individual solutions presented are actually quite manageable. While not without a need for investment and effort, when done well, these simple adjustments can have a profound effect on organisational outcomes and make for an exceptional and inclusive workplace experience for all.

Six Ideas teamed up with Warren and Mahoney to research the current experience of hybrid collaboration and offer solutions for improved outcomes. A process of hybrid collaboration was used to conduct the research and inform the proposed solutions.
