How to start cooperation? 

• Set clear goals and objectives. In order to work towards a shared goal, you need a clearly defined goal. It’s a simple practice, but make sure that your goals are SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-based).
• Set clear goals for each task, with deadlines, and give them the tools to achieve them. Give staff members the information they need to do their job, and then allow them autonomy. To work as a cohesive team, managers and partners need to take their responsibility to junior team members as seriously as they expect in reverse.
• Give team members the ability to access the expertise and resources they need. If a team member needs input from someone else, either within or outside the project team, this needs to happen rapidly. Any blockers in the project’s progress need to be quickly reported to the senior partner on the case and resolved. More junior team members’ needs are just as important, and if senior level staff are putting them to the bottom of the queue this needs to be resolved with the senior staff. Equally, if a client is answering emails from senior staff, but ignoring juniors, this needs to be resolved in a way that allows the staff member to achieve their goals.
• Consistently gather feedback on both the progression of the goal, and the effectiveness of collaboration. If you have delegated correctly, and given people the tools they need, you then need to hold them accountable for achieving their objectives. One of the reasons managers can be reluctant to give autonomy is for fear that bad work will be missed. Regular feedback ensures that any issues with achieving objectives are caught early, external blockers are removed, and any performance management issues aren’t allowed to fester. Managers often find that they are more rather than less able to manage performance in a collaborative environment.

Feedback can also identify when the flow of work moves from one person to another and ensure that transitions are made smoothly.

5. Use collaboration tools to make communication more effective.
6. Review each project when completed to identify future improvement areas. The best time to do this is within a week of the main body of work being completed, so that it is fresh in everybody’s minds.
