Collaboration is a leading driver of performance

According to Meetings Around the World I (2006), the better people collaborate, the better the factors that drive high performance.

High-level collaboration quality improves each of the following drivers of performance:

Labor productivity +36% higher
Product development +30% higher
Customer satisfaction +41% higher
Innovation +30% higher
Product quality +34% higher

So, each moment that your virtual team collaborates at low levels, you are missing the opportunity to raise your metrics substantially. Collaboration isn't about dialing into the audio conference bridge or logging on to the same web conference meeting. Rather, collaboration is about vigorous, relevant, continual interaction that is designed to maximize team member engagement and involvement--from all locations participating in the session.
