Come Up For Air: How Teams Can Leverage Systems And Tools To Stop Drowning In Work

A much-needed guide to efficient collaboration in today's workplace. For many organizations large and small, the new normal in the emerging hybrid/remote workplace consists of teams that are literally drowning in work, new collaboration tools that nobody is quite sure how to use, and lots of frustration from time wasted on scavenger hunts searching for documents and reports. Ironically, while we now have access to incredible collaboration tools designed to make everyone's job easier, many organizations still rely primarily on email communication that cannot (and was never meant to) be relied upon for many essential components of efficient collaboration. The danger signs are missed deadlines, frustrated team members, good people leaving the company, low customer satisfaction, and stressed-out leaders not sure where to begin to fix the steady unraveling they are seeing. Nick Sonnenberg knows this situation all too well, having experienced it himself while running his business. When Nick saw that his company was on the verge of going under, he set about creating a framework that his company could follow to use their collaboration tools to maximum advantage. He calls it the CPR Framework, for Communication, Planning, and Resources. In Come Up for Air, Nick shows the tools that will boost productivity in all three of these domains and provides the blueprint on the most effective ways on how to use them. Readers will: Learn how to select the right tools for communication, planning, and resources. Understand (and learn how to implement) processes that will help users choose the right tools for the right kind of work they are doing. Understand how to optimize work collaboration tools around the speed of information retrieval, rather than the speed of information transfer.
