Enhancing Collaboration and Communication within a Global Organisation

Global Solutions Inc. $($GSI$)$ is a leading multinational corporation with offices in major cities across the globe. The

company specializes in providing innovative solutions in the fields of technology, engineering, and consultancy services.

With its diverse workforce located in different geographical locations, effective communication and collaboration are

crucial for GSI's success.

However, GSI has been experiencing significant hurdles in facilitating seamless collaboration and communication among

its dispersed teams. The existing communication channels, primarily relying on emails and occasional video

conferences, have proven to be inadequate for fostering real$-$time collaboration and knowledge sharing.

Furthermore, cultural differences, language barriers, and time zone disparities exacerbate the challenges faced by GSI in

fostering effective communication and teamwork. As a result, projects are often delayed, misunderstandings arise, and

productivity suffers.
