Collaboration - Contextually Communicate with your Connections

We've discussed about contextual integrated information and contextual people connections in the past weeks. The third key pillar of a collaborative ecosystem is communication mechanisms. Today, enterprises have globally dispersed office locations and teams staffed with people across these locations. Enterprise stakeholders are scattered across geographical areas. We have already seen the criticality of contextual integrated information and the correct contextual contacts to talk to. However initiating conversations or meetings with these contacts and sharing information with them is not always as straightforward and seamless as we would like it to be.

Collaboration involves a coming together of many perspectives as this blog explains.  Connecting to the right set of people is one imperative to build a Collaborative ecosystem. In some cases we would know who we want to connect to but do we always know if they are available or what is the best way to reach them? You defintely wouldnt like to talk to that person's voice mail time and again, right? And then there are cases where we actually are clueless about who to approach for a problem resolution! Or who else is doing work similar to mine? If there is some one like that I would definitely like to connect to them. To understand how to enable such an ecosystem, we need to study how we make real world people connections.
