@sean_broderick I've been trying to generally fix the problem of experts working together to solve complex problems for 20 years. Now, I'm staying pretty narrow: Collaboration tools for evidence-based management. Still a big topic. #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/15yp7

@editingwhiz A6. Another takeaway: Have we really gotten through this Crowdchat without any mention of design and UX? I saw one mention of AI-digital assistants. This space is so ready for big, huge, important change. #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/65yp2

We've 10 mins left, how about some final thoughts and perhaps some takeaways you got from this session? #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/05yoj

@editingwhiz A6. Like everything else with IT, start with the work to be done, then look for the tech to do it. Too many orgs still are trying to fit the work into the available tech. It's nice that Zoom humanizes digital, but it better do mo... #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/85yov

@editingwhiz A5. At minimum, a recognition that WHF infrastructure is not synonymous with WFH tools and applications. Most "collaboration" tools aren't that sharp. Lots of talk and experimentation is likely, but not much new adoption until th... #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/85yo0

Q5: Looking ahead, when we're out the back end of the pandemic, how will your workplace be changed, and will you add new collaboration tools? #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/35yni

@editingwhiz A4. Sure, if context is asynchronous, which in the case of humans, it usually is. But turn and run if you can't sync with integrity. #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/55ymz

Q4: I know it sounds like an oxymoron, but can collaboration tools be used offline? What's your experience with this, if any? #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/45ymk

@danlahl A3. That's it! Collaboration tools for IT typically are much better because the builders of those tools -- IT pros -- understand the context in which they'll be used. Collaboration is really subtle, very context-dependent. My clients... #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/15ymr

@usmcjost A3: Watching IT use digital tools to improve collaboration is a very necessary case study in how collaboration tools are going to evolve. It's not just stuffing more video into a connection. #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/75ymb

@editingwhiz Hi Chris! Thrilled to participate. #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/25ylu

Hello, all, and to all ships at sea! Welcome to #eWEEKchat No. 85, "Trends in Collaboration Tools." #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/45yi3

@danlahl A2. Good use of Zoom. #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/75ylc

@editingwhiz A2. For rote activities with no physical component, no effect on productivity. For an activity that changes in response to time or context, having folks proximate can be better. But, of course, most offices are poorly managed and... #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/55ykw

Q2: From a recent Wrike survey: More than half of U.S. companies say a work from home policy would seriously harm productivity. Depends on the use case, I know--but what's your take? #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/65ykd

@editingwhiz Zoom is fine for what it does, but collaboration is much more than looking at a digital simulacrum of a colleague. #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/55yjs

Q1: The fast-rising use of videoconference tools such as Zoom have revealed some major security issues that hadn't been anticipated. Zoom CEO Eric Yuan said he is working hard to fix them, but do you trust your own videoconferencing app righ... #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/15yiz

@editingwhiz Looking forward to our discussion on collaboration tools in today's work environment. #eweek #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/85yii

@editingwhiz Howdy! #eweekchat crowdchat.net/s/95yi6
