Barriers to an Effective and Efficient Collaboration
From AMI@Work Communities Wiki
This is an ECOSPACE survey about Collaboration Barriers.
Nowadays, it is widely recognised that a number of various factors are affecting collaboration effectiveness and efficiency. Those factors are creating different types of distance among collaborating people such as eProfessionals. A recent literature review has allowed us to identify a number of factors grouped into twenty factor types or classes that are tentatively clustered into an overall concept named “collaborative distance”. This overall concept of collaborative distance has four dimensions in order to distinguish structural, social, technical and legal aspects.
Collaboration barriers are generated by factors creating different types of collaborative distance impacting negatively collaboration effectiveness and efficiency.
This survey is intended to collect your views about the following mentioned collaboration barriers based on your own experience forged during collaborative projects. Resulting figures will be permanently monitored during the coming months.
Each assertion identifies a potential barrier which implies a certain negative impact on collaboration effectiveness and efficiency. The question that you are requested to answer is: "Do you believe that the assertion is a collaboration barrier which has a negative impact on the effectiveness and efficiency of eProfessionals collaboration?"
When expressing your opinion, it is requested to tick only one of the 4 possible answers:
- Major impact: This is a collaboration barrier having a major negative impact on collaboration effectiveness and efficiency.
- Average impact: This is a collaboration barrier having an average negative impact
- Minor impact: This is in somehow a collaboration barrier having a minor negative impact
- No impact: This is definitely not a collaboration barrier!
All following electronic polls are intended to collect your vote about potential collaboration barriers grouped into four different dimensions:
