For the purpose of this study, we define collaboration as the practice of working together across different functions and across different locations or business units.

The survey, sponsored by BTS, was conducted in March 2016. About half the respondents are C-suite executives, with the balance holding a variety of high-level management positions. North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific are all represented—nearly six in ten respondent organisations have annual revenues exceeding $500m.

This research report explores whether firms are leveraging collaborative techniques to improve business success, the difficulties of collaboration and the value of collaborating across functions and levels to achieve strategic alignment.
