Methods and systems for a collaborative work environment. One system includes a monitoring computer communicatively coupled to a first computer-aided workstation and a second computer-aided workstation. The monitoring computer includes an electronic processor configured to receive, from the first computer-aided workstation, a first datastream associated with a first incident, receive, from the second computer-aided workstation, a second datastream associated with at least one selected from the group consisting of a second incident and a user of the second computer-aided workstation, and analyze each of the first datastream and the second datastream to determine a collaboration recommendation. The electronic processor is further configured to transmit, to the first computer-aided workstation, a first request to participate in a collaborative work session and, to the second computer-aided workstation, a second request to participate in the collaborative work session in response to determining the collaboration recommendation.
