Avoid a Tower of Babel Scenario: Too Many Tools Create Complexity and Inefficiencies

Despite the plethora of collaboration tools available, a recent survey of 200 people in North America who manage or participate in projects revealed that email, spreadsheets, and phone calls are still the top three tools used for collaboration. Other online collaboration tools have been tried by 40% of the respondents but have limited capabilities for virtual teams. The use of multiple tools creates a Tower of Babel and results in major disconnects with missing information, leading to a waste of nine weeks per year. It's time to end email addiction, reduce the number of tools, and get everyone on the same page to improve project collaboration.
