Effective collaboration is the key to scalable innovation and growth. Companies often seek partners who share their vision and values to co-create and generate new insights. That’s where ‘Company Collaboration’, the new premium add-on for Wazoku customers, comes into play. This innovative addition is set to transform the way organizations collaborate with ideal partner companies, making the process easier, quicker, and more effective. 

The Collaboration Conundrum 

Innovation, at its core, thrives on collaboration. Companies of all sizes need to work closely with suppliers, partners, and start-ups to remain competitive. Therefore, the need for diverse perspectives, skill sets, and resources has never been greater. Yet, traditional approaches to collaboration are often marred by restrictions to openness and clarity that stifle the innovation process. 

“You want to understand your company’s value and goals and then scout for things that benefit the overall goals of the business. Be relevant. Don’t just say: “Hey, there’s this cool gadget out there.” Does it add business value? Stick to that.” 
// Ashley Coleman – Technology Development Manager at Duke Energy
