You probably noticed it too; there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to turning unproductive teams into highly productive ones. Fortunately, “teams” have been the subject of near-constant study in recent years so we have a lot of data we can use to improve our performance. Take a look at what I found to be working.
What happens when 14 people with a passion for robotics come together? They create robots and win 32 awards and prizes in top robotics contests. Their name is Flex Team and when we met them we were impressed with their passion and achievements. So we decided to support them in further developing robots. The key to successful collaboration and to building a winning autonomous robot is teamwork. The group of people you gather to make the project happen is the secret sauce. Help them communicate instantly, then add a touch of passion, and you can do anything. We couldn’t agree more, that’s how Hubgets enables teamwork 🙂

There’s a very good reason why I zone out when I have something to finish fast. That reason is usually associated with an annoying voice, but today it was associated with puppy eyes. Seriously, I feel that this is the best strategy to undermine a team’s focus under deadline. Enter #uberPuppies!
Larger teams generate better concepts, and the more diverse the team is, the higher the impact of their innovation efforts. That’s the key takeaway from a recent field study that showed how mixing up different departments and putting the right software in their hands can be an innovative idea in and of itself.

Every team has its own needs. Take the software industry for example. One team is coding, another is testing, while others are cooking up a marketing campaign. We know from experience that these simply don’t mix. That’s why it’s so useful to use Topics to keep your teams’ communication and collaboration focused on what matters.
