Lois Sonstegard continues her discussion with host Steve Harper on the Podcast Business News Network about the challenges facing businesses today. In this podcast they concentrate on collaboration and why it’s so important in today’s business environment. Lois defines collaboration as two or more people coming together to work together and develop a relationship to accomplish a common goal.
