For one of my clients right now, I am doing a bunch of research on collaboration, what works and what doesn't, etc. This Harvard Business Review article is an excellent place to get started with some really shocking shit about collaboration and it's effect on the workplace: https://hbr.org/2016/01/collaborative-overload Check this: 80% of our work day is spent on unstructured and (largely) unproductive "collaboration". Emails, meetings, and other bullshit that isn't actually our essential job function. And, something like 90% of all value is generated by 3-5% of the actual people "working". Everyone else is basically shuffling virtual papers around on their desks, and jerking off.
