In the era of accelerated digitization, companies are constantly seeking ways to improve collaboration and efficiency among their teams. In this scenario, technologies act as a propeller, offering innovative tools that empower professionals to work in a more integrated and productive manner.
A survey conducted by Deloitte revealed that 74% of respondents believe that technology significantly improves synergy among employees. Tools such as video conferencing, instant messaging apps, and project management software are considered essential for breaking down physical and geographical barriers. Now, globally distributed teams can contribute in real time, share ideas, and make decisions quickly, regardless of physical distance.
Furthermore, solutions are facilitating the organization and management of complex projects. With the use of task and project management software, teams can visualize work progress, assign responsibilities, and monitor deadlines more efficiently. This not only increases transparency within the team but also helps identify and resolve potential bottlenecks before they become bigger problems.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and automation are also playing a key role in building more efficient teams. For example, chatbots and virtual assistants can help employees perform routine tasks, freeing up time for more strategic and creative activities. Additionally, AI algorithms can analyze large volumes of data to provide valuable insights into team performance and identify areas for improvement.
“It is worth noting that technologies are just tools; the real difference lies in how they are used by teams. Therefore, in addition to investing in technological solutions, companies must also prioritize the development of interpersonal skills and promote a culture of collaboration and trust among team members,” says Ricardo Nóbrega, partner and director of Revenue atIT Intelligence.
A practical example is the SAP SuccessFactors tool, which integrates technology and organizational culture to promote continuous collaboration. The solution allows leaders to assign projects and activities to employees, who can comment and contribute to these tasks – providing an environment for the exchange of ideas and information. "It is worth emphasizing that without a culture that values collaboration and active participation from all team members, the adoption of the system may be compromised and result in low engagement," points out Nóbrega.Investing in the development of a collaborative culture, where open communication, teamwork, and knowledge sharing are valued, is the true secret to building more efficient and collaborative teams.
