Collaboration certainly isn't a new idea — businesses have been practicing for years — so how is it possible that so many companies continue to fail in implementing a successful collaboration strategy and what are the secrets of those that are getting it right? Join us as we discuss these questions and more during tomorrow's Tweet Jam.

The Jam kicks off at 10 am PDT / 1 pm EDT / 1700 GMT on Thursday, July 23. As always, the broader CMSWire community is welcome to take part. Join in by using the #socbizchat hashtag, logging in to our chatroom or through Cover It Live — found below on the day of the Jam.

  1. Why does the success rate for collaboration fluctuate so much?
  2. Name three conditions in the enterprise that need to be in place for collaboration to be successful.
  3. How will the increasingly distributed nature of companies affect collaboration in the enterprise?
  4. With an evergrowing number of collaboration tools used in a single workplace, what can businesses do to avoid collaborative silos?
  5. Why does the collaboration conversation usually put so much emphasis on technology without considering the impact on people?
  6. Will we be having this same conversation in five years? Ten? Why or why not.
