Teams are rarely hurting for good ideas for products, campaigns, and initiatives. But they do lack visibility into what’s already been done. These habits can help.
Picture the scene: You’ve returned from a wonderful holiday break, invigorated to tackle ambitious projects, and then it hits you. Maybe it’s pinned to your Jira board, or taking up a tab in Confluence. It’s that one project that won’t go away. Its status hasn’t updated in three weeks. The Slack channel for the project is silent.
One person’s knowledge isn’t enough to execute the work that really matters. Even your team can’t go it alone. To make great things happen, your entire organization must pool their cognitive resources. Sharing knowledge improves innovation, creativity, and productivity for everyone. Without it, information gets trapped within departments, teams, and individuals’ brains (the dreaded silos).
