What makes collaboration click?
summary
Research uses a diary study, interviews and a survey across 23 countries with ~250 diary entries to show five collaboration behaviors — co-creation, rapport, role clarity, feedback and reflection — statistically predict product quality. Teams practicing all five score an expected 25% higher product outcome compared to none. Analysis benchmarks collaboration against org factors; recommendations are concrete: diary study and survey evidence, multiply feedback loops and visibly invest in cultural core to get the virtuous cycle going.
