New survey demonstrates that collaboration is a key driver of business performance

A recent survey by Frost & Sullivan highlights the importance of collaboration as a key driver of business performance. The survey concludes that 36% of a company's performance is due to its Collaboration Index, more than twice the impact of a company's strategic orientation (16%) and more than five times the impact of market and technological turbulence influences (7%). This is a key finding because it empirically demonstrates that increased high-quality collaboration can improve business performance.

The study is called "Meetings Around the World: The Impact of Collaboration on Business Performance" and can be accessed here:

Nice report... I think the

Nice report... I think the key point from the study is the consistent definition of the "collaboration index" as they call it. The metrics must be the focus in this topic: there's a lot of money flowing to technology deployment based on the wrong rationale, that is the pretended collaborative characteristic of some technologies, meanwhile the collaboration itself is an adjetive for the way people co-operate with other people; hence it's not a question of having new "colaborative" platforms, tools or systems in place.
