Microsoft Teams. Slack. Zoom. Google Workspace.

Every day, hundreds of millions of people use these über-popular collaboration tools, but only to limited extents. That is, as replacements to email and Skype. We are merely scratching the surface of what these collaboration hubs can do. Rare is the company that has realized even one-quarter of their benefits.

Blame ignorance, not malice. Organizations, executives, and rank-and-file employees have lacked a holistic framework to fully understand the remarkable power of these new collaboration hubs, much less unleash them.

At least until now.

Reimagining Collaboration provides this essential gestalt. This timely, ambitious, provocative, and seminal book introduces a bold new model of work predicated on hubs and spokes. No theoretical text, it offers concrete tips for companies and groups on how to transform the way they work.
