What is the difference between teamwork and collaborative working?

In teamwork, a group of people cooperate on a joint project and strive to achieve a collective goal. However, this does not usually happen in direct cooperation. Each employee takes care of a specific aspect and the results are brought together at the end.

Collaborative working refers to a more intensive form of cooperation: all employees involved work together on the project at the same time. This places high demands on the spatial conditions, furnishings and technical equipment.

Real-time collaboration: teams can work on projects simultaneously. This is efficient.
Communication: Direct exchange and feedback promote clear and Transparent communication.
Problem solving: Diverse perspectives lead to more solutions.
Resource savings: Simultaneous collaboration avoids redundancies and saves time.
Team loyalty: Joint projects strengthen team spirit and promote team loyalty.

Key factors for successful collaboration are open communication, clear common goals, mutual trust & respect, suitable spaces, furniture, tools & technologies, effective time management, defined castors & responsibilities and management support.

Collaborative working requires office space and furniture that is very flexible, adaptable and also inviting. The interior design should encourage creativity and interaction and create a positive, inspiring atmosphere where team members can easily communicate and collaborate. It is important that the furniture is suitable for both formal meetings and informal gatherings. Flexibly configurable multifunctional furniture such as WINEA ELEMENTS, mobile modules and desks from WINEA TEAMS or the foldable and rollable TWISTER tables are particularly suitable for designing spaces for collaborative work. Modern technology integration facilitates the use of digital tools for hybrid collaboration.
