Use program such as GoogleDocs to encourage employees to collaborate online to complete tasks.
Set up wikipedia pages for departmental projects (keeping in mind they'll be visible to the prying public) -- These pages allow for the production of collaborative documents and for the compilation of individuals' contributions to a group's overall task.
Online collaboration sites are also great for compiling employees' position-specific goals with regard to the group as a whole, and for viewing a Project-Manager installed Project schedule with due dates and other deadlines (can include a comprehensive timeline of goals).
Keeps everyone on the same page and keeps each person accountable to the team as a whole. Ex. With an online schedule denoting who owes what and when, team members won't want to see an blank space in the "date completed" field of their task.
This, in turn, encourages a proactive work environment (people try to impress their boss, peers) whereby individuals are more likely to complete tasks on time and, since everyone can see the online compilation, team members will likely do a better-quality job.
