5potential challenges of collaborative tools

You have most probably used some variation of collaboration tools like Slack, Basecamp, and Trello at some office gig. Working within a few of these tools might sometimes have a lot of problems.

1.Forced collaboration on Employees.

Some companies may sometimes fail to notice that some employees do not want to constantly have real-time notifications popping up every minute. They may fail to recognize what is important and what is not and end up wasting money on these tools.

2.The roll-out

These tools might represent awesome business productivity growth but sadly, a huge portion of the employees will be like, what is this? If management decides to use collaboration tools, they should explain what they are and the purpose of using them.  

3.Lack of User Training.

Organizations that do not offer strong training programs for these tools can see problems arise very quickly. This could help gain insight on whether or not employees want to collaborate in the first place.

4.The “reduction in email” argument

People might positively accept these tools and become a bit connected. However, the downside to it is that, whenever something big is due, everyone falls back to email. Users need to seriously use these tools  across a variety of contexts.  

5.The overloading of documents and files.

If collaboration tools are rolled out for the sake of process documents and burdensome tracking sheets, people might head right back to their email and full meeting schedules and collaboration will die in the flood.
